Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold
Clear, peachy-golden-hued in appearance, very promising, with a solid heft of head above, soft and near-white in color. Aroma, neutral, a bit grainy, right on for the average lager, airy and inoffensive. Nice enough. Taste: smoooth, mild, big and malty, little hops on the palate, buteverything slides very easily down. Grainy taste is easily met by light fruit, the body is medium, finish is long and lasting. Flavor sits forever in the mouth, that's is the biggest thing this brew has going for it. It's not one of those In-&-out-lagers, in the mouthfeel. big points for that, for the persistence, and the pleasure, and the all-out pleasant-ness going on here. If I were somewhere where this was the most intriquing selection, though I'm no lager lover, it's a beer I could happily sit with. Or stand, even. Actually, it tastes better the more you get into it...very nice. Yum, top notch lager!
