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. A clear, yellowish pale gpøden beer topped by a nice but rapidly diminishing white head. Quite dead aroma with spent grains, fruits, grass and hay. Sweet flavor with pale malts and a sourish touch. A little bitterness in the end. Medium body. A really boring one, and not very good either. 091120

Bottle bought in Dusseldorf and drank in the airport. Pale Yellow color. Aroma dominated by malt, with some hops. Round and mellow malt flavor. Fruity and rather sweet. Not much hops, except they are there in the finish. Just a bit. Good fruit—balance ok but less hopping than expected. Pretty good.
