DAB Original

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

Golden colour, thin white diminishing head. Malty, slight hoppy aroma with some buttery hints. Flavour is malty with decent bitterness and small metallic notes. A little flat. Short bitter aftertaste.

bottle - Okay, so there’s nothing original or terribly interesting about this beer. It has a light aroma with a little hops and some graininess. The flavor actually has a decent balance of malts and hops and the palate, while a little too thin, really isn’t bad. This beer is without a doubt a step up from Bud and most other pale lagers, but no more than that.

INteresting, not very flavoured, but not annoying, nice bubbles, good foam, not boring. HAs not the Pils normal taste.

not really my style. i kinda don’t like pilseners, and i get the feeling this is one of the worse ones. i only tried it because i thought i would be able to scratch dortmunder off my styles list. apparently not.

Clear pale gold colour with imense white head and lots of small bead. Mild malt nose with pilsen like hints. Tart malt taste with lingering medium dry finish.

Fine looking beer, but without any taste that appears to have been intentional. All I’m really getting here is the lightstruck skunkiness from the green bottle and maybe a little sour. Like Heineken, without the quality control department.

Draft, Baja Bean, Staunton VA. Pale straw color with fluffy white head. Very little nose-- some faint aromas of light malt, honey, and a white wine-like sourness. Flavor follows, some mild grain and a tart sourness that was not the typical skunkiness of beers like Heineken, but really like white grape/wine. Dry, clean finish. Nothing too special but very tasty and refreshing.

Can we say Heineken. Not very original or interesting. If you need something to drink and don’t want to buy bud, go for DAB.
