Dog Days Dortmunder Lager- Two Brothers Brewing Company

I decided that with spring here and summer coming up that I would review a great spring or summer time beer brewed only 20 minutes from where I live.  Dog Days Dortmunder Style Lager is brewed by Two Brothers Brewing Co out of Warrenville, Illinois.  As I expected, this is a great beer for a nice hot day.

The beer poured a deep gold color, almost the color of cider, but there was not much of a head on it.  Adding to the lack of a head was the fact that it seemed like it was flat throughout my taste experience of it.  However, the aroma was very inviting with the clear presence of the noble hops coming through along with some sweet apple and citrus notes.

This beer really matches the style of a lager more than that of a Dortmunder in my opinion, but it was a great light bodied beer that I felt was very well balanced between bitter and sweet.  It left a rather sweet aftertaste which I enjoyed and the drinkability was very high.  All other things aside, I did really enjoy this beer.

However, the beer didn't match the style of a Dortmunder and lacked head and carbonation, which retracted from its final score- a 7 out of 10.  I would say that this is definitely an above average beer and it is worth trying if you can get your hands on some.  I feel a lot of people would really enjoy this beer during the warmer months of the year as it is crisp, refreshing, and not too heavy.
