Commercial Description:
This smooth lager strikes a delicate balance between malt and hops in the aroma, palate, finish and body. It has more body and less hops than a Pilsner, and less malt and more hops than a Munich style lager. 30 IBU.

A solid beer from Great Lakes. Not my favorite style, but very well done for what it is. Pours gold with a white head. Light aroma. Nice bitterness to go along with the malt.

Aroma is very malty with some honey and caramel notes. This beer is fairly clear, although I havs seen clearer, a dark golden color. Flavor is slightly buttery, very smooth. Very slight taste of vegetables, probably from adjuncts. Palate is good, very drinkable. Overalll, a very, very good beer, espiecially for the style. I would definitely buy this if I could get it on a regular basis.

Bottle. Poured a medium golden color with minimal off-white head. Aroma was a bit malty. Flavor was just a touch sweet, malty, and hoppy on the back end. It was OK.

I really enjoy this beer. I’ve had it probably 50 times but only now am I rating it. Not particularly a fan of the lagers including dortmunders but this beer is consistently delicious. Great full body with a nnice malty flavor balanced out beautifully by a noticeable hop presence. Great beer with food.

Pours a beautiful golden color and slightly hoppy aroma with a foamy, but short-lived head. Has a smooth malty flavor with a sharper, hoppier finish.

Bottle. Brilliant gold color wioth a nice white head that stayed a while. Pretty good hop aroma slightly overshadowing the malt aroma. Clean, crisp flavor of malt just slightly overshadowed by the hop bitterness and flavor. Good mouthfeel; not too heavy but, not too thin either. Very drinkable. A very tasty lager.
