Schlafly Dortmunder

Draft… Clear yellow lager with a small, creamy, white head. The aroma is mostly toffee and honey with just a touch of acetaldehyde. Medium-bodied with tingly carbonation. The flavor is of mash and honey with a bit too much acetaldehyde for my overly sensitive system. Sweet, green apple, drying finish.

Found this brew on tap on 6-11-09 visit. Arrived in a pils glass a clear golden color with about a 1/4 inch thick white head and a fairly high carbonation rate. Aroma is mostly a light Saaz-ish hops arom, light apple and a light pils malt grainy note. Flavor is similar to aroma with the pils, apple with slight green grape sweetness and light spicy hops melding to make the flavor for this brew. Overall the beer has a very crisp, clean and well balance flavor and a brew that is perfect for the summer heat in St. Louis. Even a non-beer head/macro drinker (Busch Light) who was with me thought this was a great beer.

On tap at the brewery. Light golden see through yellow color. Light aromas of apple and malt. Lovely medium body with a very well balanced malt/hop combination. Very true to style. Glad the bartendar recommended it!

A pale lager with flavor made in Saint Louis???? I found this one at the Schlafly Taproom. Lovely floral hop aroma, perfectly balanced lots of body and just enough hops in the finish.

On tap at the Brewpub. Pours a dark golden with a minimal smal bead head that stays and rings the glass. Aroma is subtle sweet malt and the slightest hop spice. Taste is refreshingly delicious. Smooth sweet pale/slightly roasted malt with a mild hop bitterness. A true session beer for the summer months.

Tap at the brewpub, thanks Drew. The body was light pale gold with a white head that stuck well to the sides of the glass. The taste was meaty and full with some some earthy mushrooms. The aroma was sweet bread and apples. This hit me just right. An excellent beer.

Tasted at Schlaffenfest 2007. Filtered with a bronze golden hue. Layer of white head. Minimal nose. Bigger than the Helles, but still light. Similar finish to the Helles as well. Touch more caramel with a bigger sticky palate. Less dry. Went back for seconds on this one.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured clear light amber with a good sized head that offered excellent lacing. The aroma has lightly toasted malt and comes across very lager-ish (as it should). Medium / light body with some subdued sharp carbonation. The taste has grainy malt that is lightly toasted, crusty sourdough and a hint of nuttiness. The finish is a bit spicy and refreshing. A nice example of the style.
