A clear golden, amber ale pour with a moderate head that dissipated moderately. The aroma was fresh, fruity (detect the taste of apple) and somewhat malty. The taste is sweet, malty, and dry. There is a sticky mouth feel. Otherwise this lager is average.

Fairly pedestrian but was quite easy to drink. Serves its purpose, but its more similar to an AAL/Mexican Lager than a Dormunder. Don't go in expecting a german lager and you'll be ok.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. No freshness dating that I could find.
Clear pale golden yellow body. Small white head. Little lacing.
only smells lagery.
somehow manages to be flavorful and yet very muted. I'm thinking this is how it's supposed to taste. Snag is, the taste isn't particularly good.
Mouth is between thin and medium. finish is a somewhat unpleasant yeast flavor.
Overall, it might be a pleasant thirst quencher on a hot summer's day, but there is little else to recommend here.

Poured into a pint glass. Head disapates quickly. Taste follow the smell. Not the smoothest beer but tasty and a good representation of the style. Give it a try.

Reviewed from notes. The appearance was a clear golden colored body with small slowly rising bubbles. A small white head leaving a film on top of the beer appeared and left some light mild lacing. The smell was malty with some really light citrus. The taste was malts and light citrus and added a slight corn taste that ended up tasting pretty good. The palate was light and left a sweet yet wet aftertaste and finish. Overall, this was a good dortmunder that I would come back to.

Poured into a narrow pint glass: color is gold, transparent, head is off white to bright white, head presents 1/2 inch thick then dissipates to a thin top with spotty lacing on the glass.
Smell is very good, bready, slightly dough and toasty malts, enticing with some light fresh, grassy hops.
Taste leans to malt flavor between vienna and munich, lightly fruity, then bread and light toast, grassy hops backstop the sweeter malts - just a touch sweet.
Mouthfeel is moderately carbonated, then lingering moderate to strong sweetness - not cloying but sweet malt presence.
Overall, a beer with a great looking pour, pleasant and malty aroma with slightly sweeter malt flavor and presence.
