Day 45, August 27

The Offering: Dortmunder Actian-Brauerei (DAB), German lager

ABV: 5.0%

This being "The beer of world fame" according to the bottle, it had to be consumed from a fancy glass. Also from the bottle, the DAB is the "full bodied taste of excellence". Living up to the world famous embodiment of excellence is a tall task for any beer, and unfortunately this one falls well short (even in the fancy glass).

The nose is typical of any basic lager with heavy sweet malts coming through very strongly. The mouth is bitter hops from start to finish. In the end the bitterness is combined with a mineral water taste and it fades to more malts.

This is not a smooth beer, it bites at every turn. Nor is it really refreshing. I can't find many redeeming qualities about this beer besides that is not repulsive. I wouldn't turn one down but it doesn't rise to the top of any list of mine.

Points: 69

Thanks to Katie

Prost!
