About This Beer

If you’re not familiar with the Dortmunder style, it’s basically a full-flavored Lager that originated in the German city of Dortmund.

During the 19th century, the region’s coal miners would unearth themselves from a 12-hour shift and hit the biergartens in search of something refreshing enough to cleanse their dusty palates, but also hearty enough to satisfy their cravings.

Lupulin’s Dortmunder hits that balance beautifully! It even won GABF Gold!

Tasting Notes

Gentle caramel malts swirl against bread crust flavors, floral notes, and hints of citrus. On the finish, a soft bite of hoppy resin keeps things bright and balanced.

Malty Crisp Smooth

Wonderful flavorful lager! Hits all the right notes of maltiness, hoppiness, and crispness while staying infinitely crushable.

Really solid lager. Nice bit of bitterness on the finish, makes you want to come back for more. Malty bready goodness.

Fantastic. Earthy, clean hops combine with biscuit and bread flavors for an almost pumpernickel bread experience. Excellent lager, hope to swee it more often

Very smooth. Very plain. Nothing slightly exciting about it, other than the brewery who made it. The flavor was a terrible experience for me. It tasted very dry, bitter, and stale.

A very drinkable beer, close to the Dortmunder style, though not quite as smooth as it should be.
