Can. Clear pale yellow colour. Aroma of grains and cardboard, which indeed also is present in the flavour. Watery mouthfeel. Boring.

Bottle shared by sliffy. Even if you overlook this skunky green-bottle’s terrible odor, you still only have watery pale malt with some transparent grassiness. No matter how you slice it: DAB ain’t fab.

Golden in color with a short lasting white head. Aroma is straw and malt. Flavor is crispy and grainy. A little hint of maltiness in the finish. Watery and boring finish.

500mL can, pours pale yellow with a white head. Bready / grainy aroma. Flavour of bread, biscuit and herbs. Not too good.

DAB Dortmunder actien brauerei. Original. Can. Light yellow. Neutral aroma with no taste but pleasant at alc 5%. Body thin, small head. Good with pizza:).

Tasted from famous green bottle into a tulip glass. Part of a Beers of the World mix-pack. Poured a light straw color with large foamy white head, moderately lasting with some lace. Faint aromas typical of better light lagers: straw, fresh-cut grass, mild malt, slightly musky hops. Flavors equally mellow and neutral, with light body and crisp, dry finish. No aftertaste. Fine, I guess. Not sure why this is such a global gold standard, though.

Bottle. Small white head, sparse lacing, carbonated, transparent, and a golden hue. Malty and somewhat skunky aroma. Flavor was rather boring-sweet and malty. Tingly mouthfeel. Nothing special IMO.

500ml can. Pale yellow. Head is composed of mainly large soap like bubbles. Low carbonation. Dryish aroma, a trace of hops. Metallic taste.

Can. Pale yellow colour with a white head. Malty aroma with light grainy notes. Similar flavour with vegetable notes.

Pours golden yellow with a thin head. Aroma is very sharp and hoppy. Flavour is nice crisp and hoppy. Very light. Typical Euro lager.
