DAB Export

Brewed by Dortmunder Actien Brauerei (Oetker Group)
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Dortmund, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany

can: Disappointing example of style. Starts malty, has that dortmunder aroma, amazing lacing on glass but then goes sour on the finish. Grab a Headstrong Munich Lager from these parts any day, or Svtury’s Ekstra and then you are set, yeehaw!

Low noble hop aroma, either Saaz, Hallertauer, Spalt, or Tettnanger. Moderate malt and slight sulfur. Light gold in color very clear. Balance is key to the malt hop balance Hard carbonate water helps bitterness, nothing dominates slight mineral from water. Gordon Biersch makes a good example of this

Mini-Keg. Very subtle aroma and a very different taste. This had a frothy head of foam and a thick body. Tasted like a pilsener with a lot of crystal malt.

Grassy nose, sweet lager malt aromas. Yellow-gold color, foamy white head. Quick citrusy malt with a fairly broad but dull hop bitter. Like an NA at times. Crisp texture, but with a gritty aftertaste. Different, but not so good in the end.

Light golden color, fast diminishing head, medium carbonation. Paper and greass nose - very light. Grass, perfume and even rosemary taste with a cardboardy finish.

(bottle) Pale golden colour with a moderate foamy white head. Dense slightly sweet malty aroma. Medium sweet flavour, medium body. Clean and crisp malty taste with a balanced hoppiness; dry and bitter finish. Well-made typical Ruhr area Export.

From the can: Pours a clear pale gold with large foamy white head. Aroma is very light, almost imperceptible. Faintly grassy. Flavour is crisp malty and clean finishing. An enjoyable session beer but nothing special.

Bottle: Yellow, big fluffy white head; fresh malty nose with some hints of hoppiness; fizzy, begins slightly bready, malty, turns into a quite dry bitter finish; quite light bodied and quite hoppy for a Dortmunder.........
