Dortmunder Actien-Brauerei Dortmunder Union Export

A golden lager with a smooth refreshing finish. 500ml bottle, Abv 5.2%

Dortmunder Union Export is a pale lager brewed by Dortmunder Union in Dortmund, Germany.  The publication of  A Treatise on Lager Beers in 1969 set out the view that Dortmunder is a pale lager that is distinctive enough to be classed as a separate beer style.  Beers that are categorised as Dortmunder and are brewed outside of the UK tend to be pale in colour with a soft, rounded character.  Dortmunder Union Export is clear golden in colour with visible carbonation and a large, foamy head.  The aroma is faintly sweet with grainy malts and a hint of grassy hops and hay.  The flavour follows the nose with slightly sweet, grainy malt at the forefront. The finish is lightly bitter with a slight metallic aftertaste. This lager is light to medium bodied with a full, almost creamy, mouthfeel and lively carbonation.
