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.

Sampled from 0.33 l bottle at ’Food Lovers’ (Dortmund), best before August 2017. Clear, pale greenish yellow with a white head. Very sweet aroma of lemonade, some citrus and hints of sweet malts. Very sweet, minimally malty taste of lemonade, some citrus and hints of malts, followed by a short, a little sourish and sticky finish. Thin to medium body, quite effervescent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Okay Radler.

1l bottle, courtesy of pivnizub! Golden yellow with a tall white head. Malty with a grainy, bready touch, shy, slightly dusty hops in the finish. Easy drinking simple beer.

50cl bottle. Pours clear pale golden colour with a huge good lasting white head. Aroma of grassy and grainy malt. Taste of grainy malt, mild grassy hops, watery palate, boring!

(swing top bottle, 100cl, sponsored by pivnizub, thanks!) Clear, pale golden colour with a blond mid-sized foamy head. Grainy and slightly doughy malty aroma with shades of caramel and spicy hops far in the background. Moderately sweet and delicately bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a slightly sharp carbonation. Slightly grainy malt character with doughy notes, hints of caramel, almost empty taste; short malty finish with restrained hoppy notes. A rather trivial jubilee beer. 12.V.16

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…
