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.

Sampled from 0.5 l bottle from ’Rudat’, best before March 2018. Clear, golden yellow with a thin, frothy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy aroma of grains and some straw. Quite sweet, moderately bitter, slightly grassy taste of mainly grains and some straw, followed by a short, moderately bitter, slightly grassy and a bit metallic finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Easily drinkable, not too bad.

Sampled from 0.5 l bottle from ’Rudat’, best before April 2018. Clear, golden yellow with a thin, foamy, stable, white head. Sweetish, slightly grassy aroma of grains and hints of straw. Sweetish, slightly bitter, moderately grassy-spicy taste of grains and some straw, followed by a short, slightly bitter, moderately grassy-spicy, a bit dry finish. Almost medium-bodied, smooth and slightly effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Easily drinkable but not really ’premium’, what do I have to expect from the standard version now?

0.5l bottle. Pale yellow body with a white head. Bread and hay dominates its character with notes of grains, floral hops and a bit of cardboard. Plain beer, but drinkable.
