German malt, German hops, Canadian water. This pale lager from the industrial city of Dortmund is a simple beer of balance: spice and citrus atop a humble foundation of malt, no ingredient shouting too loud and all in service of clarity. A full mouthfeel softens the moderate hoppiness, and accentuates the delicate malt profile. A long and cold maturation creates a crisp and refreshing beer that finishes clean. End your day like a Dortmunder: sweat on your brow and a beer in your hand.

Can at home in the garden, with the family, 17th July 18. Bought at Godspeed, Toronto. Pours clear light brown. Aroma is malt, slight smoke. Taste is classic and authentic German, wow, this is good, malt, light smokiness, grain. Great and full of flavour.

On tap at Godspeed Brewery TO. Clear deep gold colour lasting white head. Light lager aroma some malt. Pretty authentic though. I mean I would mistake this for German. Bready. Full is in the mouth. Funnily enough I would almost say slightly lower on carbonation than I was expecting but in a good way as let's more of the malt flavour to come through. Light drying German leafy hop finish. In terms of style pretty much nailed it. Light nu flavour. Pretty good.

Can from October 2017. Deep golden color with a light haze. Great bready nose, rich malts, spicy herbal hops, spot on. Great crisp bitterness with rich, bready malt. Crisp, sharp. This is perfectly put together and I was shocked that it was more than 4 months in the can. Still super fresh and fabulous.

Deep golden color. Crisp hoppy nose. Body is dry, medium body, crisp and modest bitterness with nobel hops shinning. Very clean and well executed.

Can. Nice clear golden pour, white foam and leaving some lacings. Clean and crispy nose, biscuits and some light noble hops. Taste has good base bitterness, still lightly crip and superbly drinkable. Malt sweetness there in the background. Deep bitterness in the finish, lingering for long. Perfect pairing with Japanese food, the best dortmunder I have ever had.

Crisp and well drinkable for style. Spot on like cheetahs. Golden pour. Some light citrus hops. Snappy finish. Can bought from opening day I accidentally wandered into.
