Originally brewed for industrial workers in the city that lends this beer its name, Dortmunder Lagers are known for their smooth and rounded profile that balances bready malt with a mild hop character. To achieve this profile, we brewed ours with a blend of Murphy & Rude 6-Row Pale and German Pilsner malt before adding a generous addition of Elani hops, from Yakima Quality Hops. The aroma combines floral hops note of magnolia blossoms with a bready malt aroma that is lightly toasty. The flavor strikes a pleasant balance between mild malt sweetness and a subtle citrusy hop note. The body is mellow and smooth with a pleasant bitterness in the finish.
