Great Lakes Brewing Company Dortmunder Gold Lager

“Neutral aroma with a light hint of green apple. Malt-forward with a surprising hint of nutty brown bread. Understated, but surprisingly full malt flavor. Spicy hops with a wisp of stealthy bitterness are just enough to keep the malt sweetness in check.”

“Light brown pour with a frothy tan head. Well-balanced aroma of piney hops, roasted malt, and caramel with a touch of chocolate. Medium body with layers of dark fruit, chocolate, light vanilla, and a pleasant hop bitterness that cuts through the residual sweetness on the finish.”

Aroma: “A pleasant blend of citrus and floral hops notes mixed with a touch of malt sweetness. Peach and cherry emerge on the end, offering nice complexity.” Flavor: “A medium amount of malt sweetness is well-balanced with an appropriate level of hops character. The sweetness enhances some of the citrus notes, giving it a slight mandarin- orange character with melon. Moderate carbonation, which helps to accentuate the dryness.” Overall: “What starts as a fairly straightforward beer opens up and provides a decent amount of depth with the interplay between a pronounced light malt character and distinct hops.”
