Golden beer. Strong skunk aroma due to green bottle, leading to a grassy chalky nose. Some cardboardy notes in mouth, with a dry german hops finish, nice malts in end. Lighter bodied.

A light yellow beer with a small white head. The aroma is sour hoppy and so is the flavor - and the body is thin. This definately is not a pleasant drink - I’m glad I’m not on a diet.

2004 bottle. Well if you want to rate this relative to the other low carb beers on the market, this one would be in the high 4’s. However, on the whole scale of pale lagers, it’s not nearly that special. Still, the flavor is not offensive, just pretty neutral, watery and weak. There was some attempt at hops flavoring, dry and minimal with a seltzer-like body. No sweetness whatsoever, very peppery carbonation, with almost no aroma. Clear, straw color, white head. Very similar to sparkling mineral water (San Pelegrino anyone?). Whatever, it’s better than bud light.

Undated bottle (probably 03). Nice soft rusty yellow color, mostly clear and bubbly with a good-sized white head. Smells of crisp clean hops and lagered yeast. Body is light but not thin or watery. Dry pear flavors, light champagne grapes flavors. Flavor of crisp bitter hops does not let up. Dry, lightly biscuity malt balances it, with an herbal finish that is clean and quick.

First, let's set the record straight once and for all. This beer is not, and never has been, a "dortmunder" by style. It is a pilsner. DAB Export is the regular dortmunder from this brewery and it's damn near impossible to find, even in Dortmund. This pilsner has a pale gold colour and bubbly white head. The aroma is predominantly hoppy (grassy, minty, anise) with a hint of bready malt. Bitter to the tune of about 25-28 IBUs (more than I remembered). Lean, dry body, spritzy carbonation. Hops lead throughout, with malt sticking to balanced background. I've only ever had this in cans before and I remember it being a lot lighter. This is from a bottle and it's obviously very fresh, and it's also quite good - on a par with the finer German pilsners we get in Ontario. Well balanced and stylistically bang-on.

Paid $1.19 for a pint bottle. Unfiltered yellow with a tiny skin of a head. The particles look like little seamonkies swimming around. Grass is the only scent here. Taste isn't half bad. Actually, it's kinda nice, until you get to that metallic aftertaste. A bit thin in the mouth. This is a drinkable beer, but it's not really good, so I can't see myself wanting to ever drink it again. I'll finish my glass and be happy I tried yet another beer.

This is a very refreshing beer on a hot summer's day. It's smooth, easy on the taste buds, and leaves very little aftertaste. This is a very drinkable beer, though nothing overly special. It's much better than the "popular" beers that you can get anywhere.

Bottled. Nut brown. Very rich head. Sweet and lightly roasty. Offputting vegetable finish. Ohhh. So this was a Binding beer? That explains the lousy quality...
