DAB Original

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

Serve in Lager glass

Straw colour, fair hop character, some earthy notes but lacking character. Disappointing.

Pours gold/amber wtih a large fading head. Nose shows hay and light malt with a hint of floral hops. Very light on. Similar flavours but even fainter. Lots more straw/hay flavours. Carbonation could be higher. Pretty boring... I seem to remember this having more honey notes last time round...

Clear pale golden colour, big fluffy white head. Aroma of quite malty, straw, some cabbage and a good touch of hops. Flavour moderately sweet, quite malty and a good dose of hops. Lingering hops in the finish, but also some cardboard. (From 500mL bottle)

Soft and fluffy with a gentle slightly metallic hop tang. Flavour doesn’t linger terribly long. This isn’t a solo effort beer, this is session beer and that’s how it should be seen. I can picture a noisy, busy bar with lofty breasted barmaids and plenty of DAB. I can also picture going home in a hell of a haze and waking up next a woman that looks like Karl Lagerfeld. I’m not sure I want that.

strongly bitter taste, harsh aftertaste, not my personal preference, drank from an 11.2 fl. oz. glass bottle

Very light. Slight malt with a crisp but skunky finish. A rather watery taste for a 5% ABV.

Light straw color; Light to medium body; Aroma malt, hay, & some floral hops; Flavor of malt, grain, light hops, and some citrus; Overall, very refreshing - better than most macro lagers.

This tastes more like a pilsner... and I like it! Golden yellow with a frothy white head, smells and tastes of a good balance of sweet malt and bitter hops, medium body with high effervescence and drinkability. This is definately a step up for you industrial swilling Lagerboys.
