Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold


Since were singing the praises of the Great Lakes Brewing Co.  Let's talk about Dortmunder Gold.

Web stuff:

Dortmunder: During the mid-19th century, seven breweries within the city of Dortmund, Germany, began brewing beers in the same manner, resulting in what has come to be known as the "Dortmunder" style.

FOOD COMPLEMENTS:

Because neither malt nor hops dominate this beer, it complements most foods, especially salads, fish and chicken.

How does it taste?  It is well balanced and pairs well with food.  I think that it is slightly salty on it's own.

Cost: $7.99 a six pack
Grade: B
Cost Adjusted Grade: B
