I was with some friends from college at Kickback Jack's when I decided to try the Dortmunder Gold from Great Lakes Brewing Company. It was one of the handful of beers that I didn't recognize or had tried right off the bat. Great Lakes (http://www.greatlakesbrewing.com) is based out of Cleveland, OH.
I remember my first reaction when trying this beer. The nod, the pursed lips as if deep in thought, telling myself that this is a pretty good beer. The lighting made it difficult to properly assess the color of the beer. When I received it, there was about one finger of head in the pint glass. I also remember making the mental note that I would have this again if it was available. Aside from that, it didn't stand out as an "OMG, best thing evar!" It's a solid beer, one worth having if your other other choice is Bud/Coors/You get the point.
Grade: B-
Price Paid: $3.95 (Draught Pint)
