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.

Thanks Ogi! Poured a golden tinged yellow with a thick white head that went away slowly. Hm, nice. The aroma isn’t bad, mild herbal hoppy pleasant note, with mild sweet maltiness... slightly too light though. Dry grainty taste, however, ending strangely salty. Weak salty/bitter finish. Not too lean, OK body, but this is just on the slightly worse side of generic. Which seems to be the norm for the brewery.

*Old rating. Best before 05.11. Nice fruity lemonade. Not too sweetish, not too artificial. The beer is only in hints in the background, easy to drink, nice Radler with a lack of beer.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - sweet malt. Initial sweetcorn that dissipates. Herbs and a metallic note. Taste - lemon and malt well melded together with a bitter herb finish. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - just what I needed on a humid autumn day.
