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.

Gold colored brew with a fizzy head. Aroma of bread, biscuit, and spicy hops. The flavor is that of moderately sweet bread with grassy, spicy, citrus hops. The hops border on bitter, but are more clean and crisp. I like this brew.

Bottle, pours a nice dark gold color with a white tan head that lasts nicely. A light to medium malt aroma some straw, a bit of spice, citrus hops smells american rather than german. Nice mouthfeel and a nice a slight sweet light carmel taste, with a touch of citrus hops not very german perhaps english or american. A Nice brew.

Dark yellow color, see through with no cloud. Frothy, thick head lasts about 30-45 seconds. Smells very hoppy however the hops don’t really carry through to the taste. Has a slight citrus flavor. Light on the palate and very smooth. Little to no aftertaste. I was expecting more from this beer.

Poured to create a nice head that lasts for quite a bit of time and leaves great lacing on the drinking glass. Great straw color. Aroma is very mild of hops and malt. Taste is sweet, malty and very crisp . Great beer.

A nice brew, had as a draft. Is smooth and mildly weighted beer. Goes well with a meal, but overall doesn’t really stand out very much

Light amber body with a decent, white head. Interesting, Swiss cheese-llike lacing. The aroma is quite bready, yeasty even. The flavor seems suit, and here I will make reference to Swiss cheese, again. Yes, those notes can be found in the flavor, and I’m thankful a previous rater brought that to my attention. Good carbonation, and the general mouthfeel is about medium in weight. Overall, this is a good beer, and I have a feeling it would pair nicely with a number of different foods.

Very good beer. Goes great on a cold night with a turkey sandwich on rye. I think one would not be dissapponted with this one. Hearty substance, great appearance, nice lacing, everything a Dort should be.
