Description
The Dortmunder Union Brewery (DUB) was established in 1873, the first brewmaster was Fritz Brinkhoff (1848-1927), who worked 50 years for the brewery. In 1887, a failed brew was delivered to a customer in Aachen which was a huge success. The Dortmunder Export was born.

In 1994, the Union Brewery took over the Dortmund Ritter Brewery, established in 1889, and renamed itself the Dortmund Union Ritter Brewery. Production was relocated from the city center to the previous production facility of the Ritter brewery on the outskirts in Lütgendortmund. In 2002 the Union-Ritter-Brauerei was renamed the Brinkhoff Brewery, and in 2006 production was relocated to the Dortmunder Actien-Brauerei.

Many thanks to Koelschtrinker for sharing! Smooth and fresh neutral beginning. Not too deep but round and fresh. Hints of grain, very mild, smooth. Not much bitterness, not much depth with hints of smooth grain. Easy to drink stuff!

Lahev s patentním uzavěrem(10dl):Clear, golden, lazy carbonation, loose white head, slowly collapsing and leavin’ a little lacework; clean grainy to malty nose, covering a small amount of typical "strawy" hops; mild sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied, chewy MF; sweetish grainy finish, low but slightly lingering bitterness in the very end. Nothin’ special, but presumably an exact copy of the popular miner’s drink Dortmunder Export. Glück auf…

Can shared by dad. Clear golden color, full sized white head. Smell and taste malts, lightly grainy, quite bitter. Low to average body and carbonation. Ah well, drinkable.

Bottle: Pale golden with a greenish sheen,, smaller but persistent white head, visible carbonation; white bread and unfermented wort with a good dash of hops in the nose; fresh and mild bitter-sweet flavour, surely light bodied, surely not watery; unfermented sweetish wort and pale malt in the mild sweet-bitter finish. All in all not the worst Low Alcohol…
