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: 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…

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
