Hansa Export

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

A dortmunder huh? Can, poured flat with little head. Scent of can and taste was lacking. there was nothing here.

Dense and compact foam, enough long-lasting. Valid aspect for a canned beer. Shining yellow color, long-lasting and much bubbly. Medium scent, enough simple and lightly aluminium. Moderate alcohol and malt aroma. Altogether pleasant but without relief notes.

Sweet, fruity aroma. Standard lager color, little white head. Mildly hoppy flavor with sweet start. No carbonation, thin to medium body. Some lace in glass.

Had this simply under the label of "Hansa" in the US in a bottle. Pretty sure this is it. Slight caramel taste. Slight bubble gum taste. Light, chestnut huff and light appearance to its shine. Somewhat impressed, but I wasn’t expecting much.

canned, very flat, watery, hints of corn and dirty laundry, maybe grandma´s pants ....

Golden colour, small head, gone in 6 seconds, not bad, still missing something a fair bit .

This beer is not all that bad. Tasted alone, without other food or drink, there is a pretty nice silky body and some decent malty flavor. The aroma is spicy hops. If taken with food, the beer is robbed of its malt character and all that is left is a grain husk emptiness, without malt sweetness. I experience the same phenomenon with DAB, and I think the beers are similar in other ways. Not as bad as all that, but I wouldn?t recommend it to anyone except hardcore pale lager enthusiasts.

Large white head which reduces slowly. Ok lacing and carbonation. Light malt and corn aroma with adjunct thrown in for good measure and some dirty laundry. Color is light/medium gold. Flavor is bready (nice) with a touch of corn. Soft in the mouth and clean at the finish. A decent dortmunder but nothing special.
