COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A Dortmunder style export lager we brewed with Weyermann, Munich, and Carared Malts then flavored with German Spalter hops. This beer was lagered for about 3 months, so we used only a light polish on the filter. The color is about "old gold" 10L with a dry and warm finish. Extremely smooth with an ABV of 6%.

Growler. Pours with a foamy white head, lots of lacing down the glass. Body is solid gold, clear, with few bubbles. Aroma is grainy, tangy almost sour, sweet, with grassy type hops. Pretty unique aroma for this brewery, nice. Taste is hearty grains, light sweetness. Great earthy, grassy undertone with just a touch of acidity. Light bitterness, alcohol peeks through. Lagering shows, a smooth palate on this one. Nice stuff, I’d love to taste an imperial attempt on this.
