Jan 25, 2005 This is a fantastic beer, best on tap. Served commonly around Cleveland, it’s one that I enjoy often. This and the Christmas Ale are my two favorite Great Lakes brews. Highly recommended.

Dec 8, 2000 Great looking beer; fine, long-lasting head, beautiful amber color. I put this in a class with some other great beers - Sam Adams Boston Lager and Crooked River ESB.

Jul 29, 2002 Updated: May 18, 2005Re-Rate:11/17/03 Got more as part of a sampler and like more and more every time.Top 10 for me,for sure! Deep,golden color with a beautiful,white, active head.Thickness makes the heavy carbonation slow and almost unappearent. Great ale-like estery flavors.Huge sugar-sweet front followed with soft,smooth,earthy, malts. The leafy smack of hops in the finish is very appealing. It gets some german malt sweetness in the finish also as it warms. Traveled to the brewery in March, and it tasted even more delicate and delicious draft.Bottle showed more resemblence than I expected. Excellent beer anytime.If not perfect,very near.

Nov 30, 2002 I am helpless before good Dortmunder and this is one of the finest. Great big fluffy head over wonderful clear gold. Generous light malt with complex hop interplay, yielding to a sharper finish than other Dorts I’ve tried. Very like Dominion and Victory, but a bit sharper and a measure more tart. Brilliant. PsychProf is to thank for this beauty.

Aug 14, 2005 My absolute favorite lager, hands down. Also my first choice (lately) of session or default beer. Exceptionally well-balanced, great moderate hoppiness and light body. Huge flavor considering what it is. Exceptionally drinkable.

Dec 19, 2002 Delicious Germanic-spirited beer that comes from such a dismal place like Cleveland!
THis is far from dismal fortunately as are most of Great Lakes beers ..
They seem to be having success across most of the board.
This one is really nice alone or with light German food i’d say .
I’m on the West coast of Canada at the moment and cannot find any Great Lakes for sale here, as they seem to keep most of the American micros out of the liquor stores. I intend on getting some when i’m back in States .
Party on !
