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.

(on tap at Tom´s Sportbar, Holzwickede) Dark red-brown colour with a foamy tanned small head. Shy roastmalty aroma. Soft sweet and malty flavour and taste with caramel, but only light dry hopbitterness in the background and finish. Smooth and easy going Dunkel but it lacks definitely taste and character.

(bottle) Pale golden colour with a small foamy white head. Malty aroma with cake dough. Bittersweet flavour, medium body. Malty taste with a fair hop balance that becomes a bit sharp in the finish. Anyway a typical Dortmunder, hoppier than the classical Helles from the south of Germany.

(bottle) Decent and drinkable Dortmunder Export. Pilsener-esque appearance and taste. Quite well-made, clean, not too sweet and rather hop accentuated.

Some floral notes and a dry and hoppy finish. 080707 (Bottle 50 cl) Pale golden with a fairly decent head. Lightly malty with a marked bitter finish.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pilsener golden with a very small head. Distinct malty character both in aroma and flavour and only a weak touch of hops. Somewhat sulphurous. 060905

(bottle) Clear golden colour with a medium foamy white head. Grassy hoppy nose. Light to medium bodied, fizzy carbonation, dense bitter flavour. Almost watery and bland malty taste with a short grassy bitter finish. This one is below average.
