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 looks simple but okay. Beer in the glass zippy, small head. Starts fone hoppy-dry, modest bitter. More and more dry-malty. Finish milder, spicy aftertaste. Okay.

50cl bottle from Appellation Wines. Pours golden with gentle bubbles and a decent head for a lager. The nose has green beans and some gentle pale malt. The taste has a rich toasty note with a fresh grassy finish. The palate is light to medium bodied with a long cleansing finish. Overall, this is a lovely lager.

Yellow colour with a white head. Mild malty aroma. Mild malty an hoppy flavour. I think that only BVB fans love this beer. Ok and refreshing, but nothing special.
[Bottle from a huge BVB fan in Dortmund, Germany]

330ml bottle. Pale golden colour with small, frothy, minimally lacing, white head. Flat grainy and strawy aroma. Slightly metallic taste, a citrus touch. Absolutely boring and characterless Pilsener.
