Following the introduction of the bottom-fermented brewing process in the mid-19th century, a new beer type became popular and shaped the consumption habits of beer drinkers. The fresh, pale brew with its mildly hoppy flavour became one of the star products of its age. That is why Dortmunder style is considered a milestone in the development of beer culture in the world and became a synonym for superior quality. DAB Dortmunder Export is the finest example of the special bottom-fermented blond lager. It is a harmoniously balanced, crisp and easy-to-drink beer with pleasingly gentle notes of hops and malt. A very well-rounded taste profile with a soft and elegant texture.

Can pour from Total Wine and More, Burlington. It's a crystal clear golden yellow with nice sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with excellent retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong European and sweet malts, minerals/earth. Taste follows aroma with hint of sweet fruit. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and crisp finish as taste. Overall, hard to find a prettier beer--the Germans sure are good at that and decent mouthfeel! Aroma and taste have good strength and are true to style, albeit fairly boring to me.

16.9oz can. Reviewed in 2022. This used to be a decent beer decades ago. Any German beer that utilizes hop extract tends to get this gross plastic aroma...this one is quite bad. Really unenjoyable stuff. Malt liquor level of a beer, a really sad drop off.

Smell- wqeak malt, citrus, hops. Foam- thin, weak hops, weak hops, bitterness. Head is quite large, white in color. Appearance- simple can. From - pint Price - 1.29 for 0.5l Taste- malt, hops, citrus. Weak bitter aftertaste. All would be great if it would not feel bit metallic and with faint faint alcohol notes in the back. Overall still fine macro.

Well I never. It’s a tick. Can. £1.20 from the local everything including UPS pick up shop. Result. Whatever. Clear gold. Decent white foam. A bit of cereal and corn here. Not totally clean like I was hoping for. Hoppage is quite grassy and privet leaf like. Drinks reasonably well despite a bit of a cardboard thing. Gets pretty bitter on the finish.

Can. Deep gold colour, with a head that dissipates fairly quickly. There's a fair bit of bready malt on the aroma, maybe a bit of acetaldehyde but it's light. On the palate, it's similar. That little bit of extra bready malt to highlight the style, but again a sort of tartness that speaks to more industrial production. Good enough as industrial lagers go.

Can from Systembolaget. Golden with a medium white head. Quite sweet with malt, bread and hints of grass. Some bitterness in the finish. An ok sauna beer.
