Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold

Brewed by Great Lakes Brewing Company
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Cleveland, Ohio USA

(draft @ The Aspinwall Grille - Aspinwall, PA) Clear gold in color with a thick and lasting white head. Aroma is nice and bitter with some floral hops and a touch of cookie dough. Flavor is very bitter and crisp at the beginning with a smooth and hoppy middle and a dry and bitter floral hop finish. Finishes like a really nice pils.

Nice. Pleasant. Crisp. Very carbonated. Doughy for being relatively light, but has a complex almost browned pizza crust finish. Great.

i like this lager nice everything all around not to much to say about lagers. thin to medium white head nice balanced lager taste. great lakes puts out some nice beers.

Better than GL burning river. However, not as smooth as I think a genuine lager should be. Not too much carbonation. Has a lingering slightly bitter aftertaste and finish. I still am not sure why great lakes beers rate so high. Will not buy again.

pretty good beer from GL Ar: not much, malty, a little sweet, true to style Ap: gold,a s the name implies, nice tan head F: very crisp and malty with a slightly dry finish P: a little on the thin side, good carbonation Overall, very tasty lager and i understand why it is there flagship beer.

Bottle. Deep dark brown body with a medium film of bubbles. Nose-seltzer, weak iced coffee. Taste-light coriander, high CO2, iced coffee, the taste of a stale bar, pecan shell with astringency, soil. The usual brown ale flavors are here, but they are very sharp and well done. An excellent example of the brown ale style. Would be a good beer to have with food.

A great flagship beer. An unusual style that has been perfected by Great Lakes. I always enjoy having this beer around the house. Not too malty, but still very good.

Bottle from The_Epeeist Nose of a little yeasty caramel and citrus; amber with a small beige head; flavor of spicy caramel and citrus malts with a small hop finish.
