Commercial Description:
This smooth lager strikes a delicate balance between malt and hops in the aroma, palate, finish and body. It has more body and less hops than a Pilsner, and less malt and more hops than a Munich style lager. 30 IBU.

Bottle. Poured a medium golden color with minimal off-white head. Aroma was a bit malty. Flavor was just a touch sweet, malty, and hoppy on the back end. It was OK.

I really enjoy this beer. I’ve had it probably 50 times but only now am I rating it. Not particularly a fan of the lagers including dortmunders but this beer is consistently delicious. Great full body with a nnice malty flavor balanced out beautifully by a noticeable hop presence. Great beer with food.

Pours a beautiful golden color and slightly hoppy aroma with a foamy, but short-lived head. Has a smooth malty flavor with a sharper, hoppier finish.

Bottle. Brilliant gold color wioth a nice white head that stayed a while. Pretty good hop aroma slightly overshadowing the malt aroma. Clean, crisp flavor of malt just slightly overshadowed by the hop bitterness and flavor. Good mouthfeel; not too heavy but, not too thin either. Very drinkable. A very tasty lager.

Pours golden color with nice frothy white head. Has a nice crisp malty aroma. Nice malt based flavor with some very nice notes of fruit and honey, eventually fading into a light hop bitterness that balances out this great beer. By far the best beer I’ve had in this style.

Golden color......fluffy head. Malty aroma, with a few bitter notes. Solid malt flavor up front......somewhat of a crisp mouthfeel. Slight hop bitterness in the back, with a very dry finish.

I don’t usually make a habit of drinking light lagers, but being that this is Great Lakes, I do tend to have one periodically. This beer, when fresh, is a session drinker’s dream. Light, crisp, with a very flavorful, malty body, Dortmunder finishes clean with a nice hop presence. This beer is comparable to Sam Adams Boston Lager, and the both of them, when fresh can hang with me anytime.

Bottle. Pours clear gold, medium white head with good lacing. Aroma of wheat, some spice, and something sweet that I can’t put my finger on. Taste is malty, nice and crisp, slight hint of bitterness. Really easy drinking, I could down a 6 in no time. Great summer brew. Good stuff.
