Can. Pours pale straw coloured with a big fluffy white head. Aroma is malty with light earthy hops. Taste is sweet malty, citrussy hops,nearly watery mouthfeel. Ends light dry and even lighter bitter.

Pours pale golden with a good shortlived fizzy white head. Aroma is a bit sweet, hoppy and malty. Crispy and refreshing mouthfeel. Flavor is sweetish, malty and medium bitter. Finishes bitter and dry. Quite nice actually, well balanced.

Quite a sweet malty aroma and cracker like from the pils malt. Light gold color with a loose head providing excellent lacing. Sweet malts dominate the flavor but are well balanced with soft hop notes. Sweetness lingers rather then any bitterness. Medium body and carbonation, somewhat creamy but otherwise very easy drinking.

A: The beer pours a slightly cloudy golden straw color with a large white head. S: Smells of straw and grass with a decent breadiness to it. Some light biscuit notes as well as some toasted bread. There is a definite skunk to it as well as a fair amount of lager yeastiness. T: Sweet malt with a nice breadiness and biscuity flavor. Some honey notes to it as well as a bit of a floral character. Some grassy hops with a little bit of bitterness on the back end. Certainly sulfur in there, too. M: Medium in body, but the carbonation is slightly on the low side of medium. O: Usually I like Dortmunders quite a bit, but this wasn’t a terribly good one.

Rating from 2008. Bottled. Golden color, medium white head. Aroma, roasted grain, malt. Taste, refreshingly fruity, malty. Long bittersweet finish. Drinkable.

Bottle. A light sweet aroma of cakes and oranges. The head is white, medium large and creamy with a normal duration. The body is medium yellow. The first taste is malty, then it gets more cardboard with a short duration. The body is light to medium, light dry and creamy with a normal carbonation.
