Commercial Description:
This golden Lager is brewed using a traditional German decoction mash. By decoction mashing, we are able to achieve a full malt profile that is complemented by the addition of spicy German hops. We condition our Dortmunder for a full eight weeks which allows the malt and hop characteristics within the beer to fuse together. All of these steps are evident in our final product: a medium- bodied golden lager showcasing a delicious malt flavor balanced with a Noble hop character. Malts: 2- Row, Munich 10L, Carapils Hops: Cluster, Hallertau, Tettnang

Disappointing, no spiciness in nose or taste. Thin body little head. Taste like freshly cut wheat, graniney finish.

6/10/2007: Barrel House Duveneck’s Dortmunder Style Lager is deep gold and has a large, lasting head that is foamy and beige in color. The aroma is lightly sweet biscuit/bready malt with a touch of lemon grass and noble hop spiciness. The flavor is just like the aroma with the addition of a toffee/honey sweetness and some lightly roasted malt/toasted bread flavor. The finish is slightly more dry. It is very soft and mellow overall. This beer has a medium-light body and is adequately carbonated for the style. This is such an easy-going beer that goes down so nicely that it’s easy to nearly miss its complexities. I really think that this is a great Amercian-made Dortmunder. If pressed, I would have to say that I like it just as much, if not more, than the <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Beer/great-lakes-dort Lakes Dortmunder Gold. However, the latter might be just be a bit more crisp and clean overall...

22 oz bottle (Alcohol 4.5% By Volume) from The Party Source. Shared with Rob and Terry during the Vanilla Creme Ale brewout at my place...

22 oz bottle. Poured a clear dark gold color. Head was white and left some lace behind. Aroma was dominated by noble hops. Dry on the tongue with malty caramel, noble hop, and honey flavors. So so.

22oz bomber. A very easy pour yielded about 5 fingers of head and 2 fingers of beer. Thankfully the creamy white head quickly disappated into a nice looking amber/gold colored beer. Very light nose: a bit malty. Nice and creamy on the palate. Very soft and pleasing brew: notes of dough, bread, oatmeal cookies and just a hint of toffee sweetness. My first rated Dortmunder and it certainly did not disappoint.

Very mild, wheaty aroma. Pours yellow with a light, moderate head. Solid, creamy mouth feel with light grassy notes with some spice toward the finish. Not too bad.

Bottle (650ml) shared at ’Biegaman’s Summer Gathering’ thanks to blankboy. Medium yellow, thick small yellow head. Slightly spicy, soft malt aroma. Nice taste - more spice, soft mouthfeel, quenching and full of flavour. Wow, a pretty darn good lager that was very easy to drink on a nice day at Jan’s beautiful back yard patio.

Pours a dirty golden with a fully receding off-white head. Aroma of toasted malt, supple barley. Taste is lightly sweet malt, with bready lager yeast. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with lively carbonation. Very straightforward, but quite enjoyable.

Bomber from Cewldre. Yellow gold color with nice size head. The aroma was of sweet malt and hallertau hops. The taste was fabulous. Sweet cookie dough malt taste with nice lite hallertau hops in the background. Refreshing. Sticky as it warms. This is a great beer!
