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 from Beers Of Europe. Pours a clear light golden colour with a large throthy white head. Aromas of cereals, bread and lemon. Taste is more of the same with a crisp light grassy finish. Thinnish body, average carbonation and slightly oily mouthfeel. Refreshing thirst quencher. Good but not great.

Bottle from Hereford Beer House and drunk at home. Clear gold colour lasting white head. Some pale lager malt aroma. some yeast aroma. surprisingly yeasty fresh bread flavour. Some lemon some minerality. Good bready flavour though. better than I was expecting from a Dortmunder. Bitter finish. a northern German pils. more harsh and austere.

Only a hint of hops, malt and metal in the aroma. Skunky hopbitter, metallic taste. One of the worst pilseners I've had so far.

Grassy aroma. Neutral, sweetish, soapy taste. Slight bitter, grassy finish. Typical german pilsener, a bit on the light side. I am not impressed.
