A close relative of Pilsner, a Dortmunder is a German
lager originally brewed in Dortmund for consumption
by industrial workers. This is a traditional take on the
style and features a smooth blend of flavors that
emphasizes malt slightly more than hops. A variety of
German malts lend this pale lager a clean but
assertive maltiness that is balanced by a moderate
addition of Saaz hops. Brewing salts added to the
water supplement yeast activity to leave a slightly
mineral-y flavor characteristic of the style. Good for
drinking while you smelt things and drive rivets.
