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.

Sampled from 0.5 l bottle from ’trinkgut’ (Kaldenkirchen), best before February 2018. Clear, golden yellow with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy aroma of grains and some straw. Sweetish, slightly grassy taste of grains, straw and some cardboard, followed by a short, moderately bitter, a bit grassy finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay, not very tasty.

500 ml can into lager glass, canned on 11/2/2016. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy medium golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense and fluffy white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, herbal, pepper, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of pale malt and earthy hop notes; with great strength. Taste of big cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, herbal, pepper, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/grassy/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, light honey, herbal, pepper, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with no yeast notes present. Light-moderate dryness from lingering bitterness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and light-moderate body; with a very smooth, crisp, and moderately grainy/bready/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5%. Overall this is a great Dortmunder! All around great robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink. A really enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example. Perfectly balanced.

500ml can as "DAB Dortmunder Export". Pours a clear gold with a large, frothy, long lasting, white head that laces nicely. Aroma of bready malt, grain, straw and mild lemon. Sweet flavour of biscuit malt, grain and lemon rind with a bitter grass finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Boring, but refreshing.

Barwa jasnozłota, klarowne, piana biała, niezbyt obfita, szybko zanika. W aromacie słodowe i tyle. W smaku słodowe, lekko herbatnikowe, chlebowe. Goryczka do niskiej, wysycenie w normie, treść nienajgorsza w sumie. Zwykły lager, może trochę pełniejszy, tak poza tym nic nadzwyczajnego.

Can sample at a tasting at the new LiBira brewpub. Thanks Max. Clear straw color. Aroma of graininess, a bit of honey, a salty note. Sweetish grainy flavor, with a light salty hint, and a slightly drier and slightly bitterish finish. Light-bodied.
