blondschopf - exportbier

No hair color throughout history has been as heavily laden with symbolism and prejudice as blonde hair. Angels appear with shimmering golden hair, Marilyn Monroe made the shade world-famous, and in fairy tales, the manes of many princesses gleam in light shades. For centuries, blonde hair has been ascribed a wealth of meanings: In the Middle Ages, it stood for virtue, innocence, and purity; later, for sensuality, self-confidence, and seductive charm. Over time, countless clichés were added—from naive to vivacious, from angelic to frivolous.

Instead of dwelling on old prejudices, let’s turn our attention to another blond-haired beer. This Bavarian export beer of the same name was created by the Hopfenheld beer experts and is brewed on their behalf by the Ettl private brewery. The brew boasts a moderate 5.1% alcohol content, presents itself in the glass with a hazy, golden-yellow hue, and is crowned with a dense, white head. The aroma is reminiscent of freshly cut grass, roasted nuts, grain, and zesty citrus notes, rounded off by a delicate yeast aroma.

On the palate, the beer is harmonious and full-bodied. Spicy malt notes, subtle hop bitterness, and a hint of fruity sweetness blend into a balanced, easy-drinking overall impression. A blonde beer that doesn’t need clichés to shine – honest, well-rounded, and typically Bavarian.
