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.

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

Bottled 500ml. -from Rudat Dortmund. Pale golden coloured, medium sized white head, mild cereals in the nose. Malty, light grainy, slight herbal hoppy and touch of metal in rather short bitterish finish. Usual pils.

Bottled 500ml. -from Rewe Dorsten. Pale golden coloured, medium sized white head, weak grassy nose. Sweetish malty, grassy, weak bready and touch of fruits with short bitterish finish. Drinkable but boring.

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.

on tap at Beer Cellar Exeter. Pale yellow, mid-sized white head. Dusty-cardboardy hop aroma. Light-bodied, watery with some shy malty flavours, dust, wet cardboard. Quite horrible.

Das Getränk hat eine rötlichbraune Farbe, und wenig bräunlicher Schaum. Geruch ausschließlich nach Cola, evt. nur minimal malzig. Geschmack sehr süß nach Cola, sonst schmecke ich nichts.
