Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold

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

Bottle: Pours golden in color with a small white head. Smells of fruit, some kind of berry. Taste was similar, maybe blackberry or raspberry in flavor, but certainly not like a lambic... Just a hint of fruit. Very good and enjoyable beer.

Bottle. Strong honey malt aroma. Orange yellow with small head. Sharp hops flavor initially followed by a nice smooth sweet malt. Moderate hops aftertaste. A great beer.

Clear amber body with a thin white head. Sweet light floral hop aroma. Sweet fruity flavor with some light citrus and grassy hops.

Golden body with a thin white head. Aroma of orange, hops and some light spice. Very nice body, smooth grapefruit from the hops. Some very light malts with a light fruit profile. Smooth ending, very enjoyable.

Draft, at the brewpub. Poured a ice copper amber with a thick off-white head. A touch of hops in the aroma with a mild malt body. The hops are evident in the flavor up front but are quicky balanced by a mildly sweet malt body and a subtle bitter finish. Crisp, and smooth this is a good beer!

Pours a golden color with thick head and fades quickly. Nice lacing in the glass. Smell is very sweet malt, some grassiness, not much else. Taste is much the same and it doesn’t do much right. There is not a lot going on and it makes for a boring beer.

Had on draft in Maumee, OH was not what I would put on recommended list. Watery, to sweet, bitter after tast. Very little malt flavor for this style of beer. nothing special here.

This was good. Had this on tap in Clevelend. Lightly hopped. Little sweet like a sugar cookie. Pretty smooth going down.
