Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold (USA)

Product Story

The Great Lakes Brewery Dortmunder Gold is part of their regular lineup and has been since 1988. This great lager takes its name from the German city that is most recognized for this style. It's a beer that strikes the perfect balance of malty richness and hops (a moderate 30 IBU) while not being too much of either. This is not a pure classic in our view rather a nice interrelation of the classic Dortmunder style in America.

Brand Story

Established in 1988 by brothers Patrick and Daniel Conway, Great Lakes Brewing Company (GLB) became the first microbrewery in the state of Ohio and today remains one of Ohio's most award-winning and trusted brewers.

Tasting Note

Brilliant golden color with a fine bead of bubbles. The aromatics are malty and floral with sweet grain notes and a well-integrated hops impression. The palate is substantial while dry with crisp grain and citrus notes. Ideally balanced with great length and a dry, vibrant finish.
