Commercial Description:
"Our Lager (Dortmund-style) is brewed with pale, Munich and Vienna malts and is moderately hopped with Hallertauer hops. The Dortmund style evolved in the steel-making town that bares the name and is a hearty lager with great heft in the mid-palate. The hops balance the malt but not overtly so. Canadian 2-Row Pale Malt Durst Munich and Vienna malt Magnum - Bittering hops Hallertauer - Flavor & aroma hops ABV: 4.8% IBUs: 35"

Bottle from jjpm74 on a locals trade Thanks John!<P>Pours a clear gold with a thin white head. Aroma is grassy lager. Flavor is nice with a sweet finish. I could see keeping these around in the garage for a thirst quencher.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear gold with a white head that lasted through the entire glass. Moderate carbonation. Light floral aroma. First sip tastes of light malt sweetness and corn cereal. Crisp and dry aftertaste. A pleasant and enjoyable brew.

Bottle: Pale golden, very clear, moderate white frothy head, spotty lacing, very light carbonation.   Very light floral aroma, slight graininess.   Sweet grass up front, slightly malty, thankfully not very grainy.   Not bad...   Moderate body and mouthfeel.   Fairly clean finish, slightly buttery tho.   Not half bad, perhaps a bit heavier than other examples.   Thanks John!

(Bottle) Frothy white head, clear yellow body. Nose is bready, yeasty, malty. Nice hint of smokiness and breadiness in flavor. Just needs a bit more oomph overall. Not a bad lager, just could ue a little more body and flavor. (Note: this bottle was not labelled as "Olde Buzzard Lager" but just "Buzzards Bay Lager"; also neck label says "Dortmunder"-style.)

Fairly run of the mill, I couldn’t pick up on anything special in this one. While by no means bad, it just didn’t offer anything original to the style besides a bitter nuttiness that I wasn’t thrilled about.

12 oz bottle pours a murky brownish copper with a foamy two fingered head. Aroma is malty with cinnamon and apple. Taste is a lot more sour than I thought it would be with really sour limes. A really starnge brew that is best suited for the drain.

(bottle) Pours flaxen in color and comes to rest in the glass with a yellow-orange hue and a large white head (slightly fizzy). Complex smell, yeasty, a little doughy, and fruity (grapes). Lively carbonation makes it squirm on the palate. Feels smooth, dry, and crisp. Bready taste with a barely perceptible bitterness in the beginning and a slight sour tartness at the end. A good, well-balanced lager overall.
