DAB Original

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

Light gold with a thin white head. Skunky hopped aroma. Mildly roasted malts with some spice. Slight grass and caramel. Fairly good.

bitter at first but gives a good after taste in your mounth this is like my first german beer so i have up hopes for other german beer to tastes this good :)

Pretty average. Nice and crisp with a very slight skunk factor. There is a little maltiness. Nice to look at.

Half liter bottle looks more like the DAB Export variety, but marked as Original and 4,9% ABV. Pretty solid looking lager, gold under an almost creamy head. Fairly heavy malt aroma with perhaps the tiniest bit of grassiness. Carries on in the flavour. Softness is reminiscent of a Bohemian Pils. Rich malts of aroma carry over to the flavour with some sweetness. Hop accents start early, but ar fairly soft, but still lasts some with the aftertaste. Better balance would work wonders for this brew, the taste is there but needs bigger hops, and more refined malt. Still, before I became a beergeek this was to my mind the worst beer I had tasted. But really, it's ok!

Skunky aroma put me off at first but once you get past that the flavor is not too bad. Smooth and refreshing. Nothing special but would go down easy on a hot summer day.

This is a very refreshing beer on a hot summer's day. It's smooth, easy on the taste buds, and leaves very little aftertaste. This is a very drinkable beer, though nothing overly special. It's much better than the "popular" beers that you can get anywhere.

Served in a 400ml.(?) tumbler. Pale gold colour, barely any head and a mediocre, grassy flavour and aroma. Not bad for NZ$2.2? per 500ml. can but hardly worth hunting down.

I drank this one right off the can. Yeah, i know, i know, shame on me. But from what I tasted this was overall a good beer. Golden color, fruits in the aroma (orange?)and really smooth to drink. Simple and honest.
