Overall: Brings back memories of my first sip of dad’s
MGD way back when…. only much better. I
usually do not drink too many lagers unless it’s an Iron City during a Stillers playoff
game. The lager is a crisp, refreshing
beer. It’s full of flavor, has slight caramel,
and a hint of hops… overall a very good, quality lager. The beer has stamina, and keeps delivering
the goods. I believe Two Brothers nailed
this style.
I rarely purchase lagers, but I would definitely
drink this beer under the right circumstances.
For example, if Gooner was having a bash, and had some in the cooler, I’d
be enthralled to drink a few or twelve.
If there are lager drinkers who are not accustomed to branching off from
their MGD’s, get them a six pack to try.
They’ll love it.
It’s
the best thing to come out of Germany since Indiana and Henry Jones on a
zeppelin.
Acquisition: 6 pack - $10
Windfall: Dortmunder means something or someone from Dortmund, Germany. In this case, it refers to the style of
Lager. Lagers are interesting in that it
is one of the few basic brews that cannot be made by the amateur home brewer because
it is a type of beer
that is fermented and conditioned at low temperatures, which are difficult to
control and mandate for the amateur brewer.
