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.

Bottle at Cologne. Clear golden color, small steady white head, lace. Nose is sweet and grassy. Light-bodied. Grassy, hop extract flavor, sweetish maltyness. Although "premium" feels more like a supermarket cheapo.

0,5 l bottle from my parents, best before 4/2016 (!). Absolutely clear, transparent with a touch of gold. Medium large, foamy, slowly diminishing, white head, leaving nice lacings on the glass. Sweetish, grainy aroma. Weak, sweetish-grainy taste. Short, watery and minimally bitter finish. Thin body, quite watery and smooth, average carbonation. Boring but drinkable.

Intensiv getreidiger, etwas pappiger Antrunk, bitter, milder Hopfen. Wenig herb, die pappige Trockenheit hält an. Süffig, gut trinkbar. 8/7/9/6/7/6

0,5l-bottle, best before 12.15. Smooth and fresh beginning. The typical alcohol-free sweetness is there with some grain, but not too intense. Highly drinkable, a bit watery-grainy, but soft and smooth. Slightly sweetish, moderate bitter finish, not too artificial and quite round for alcohol-free stuff. Nice. --- Beer merged from original tick of Brinkhoff's Alkoholfrei on 18 Jun 2019 at 21:52 - Score: 6
