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. Clear, golden yellow with a thin, foamy, slowly diminishing, white head. Slightly sweetish, fruity-grassy aroma of fresh grass, some grains and a touch of citrus. Slightly bitter, moderately grassy-fruity and a bit grainy taste of fresh grass, some citrus and a touch of grains, followed by a short, moderately grassy-bitter finish. Thin to medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay!

Very sweet, minimally malty taste of lemonade, some citrus and hints of malts, followed by a short, a little sourish and sticky finish.

(swing top bottle, 100cl, sponsored by pivnizub, thanks!) Clear, pale golden colour with a blond mid-sized foamy head. Grainy and slightly doughy malty aroma with shades of caramel and spicy hops far in the background. Moderately sweet and delicately bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a slightly sharp carbonation. Slightly grainy malt character with doughy notes, hints of caramel, almost empty taste; short malty finish with restrained hoppy notes. A rather trivial jubilee beer. 12.V.16
