hopIQ found 10 beers with the same toasty and dry character as Dortmunder Gold. The brewery's first beer and still its best seller, brewed in the manner of the export lagers of 19th-century Dortmund: fuller in body than a pilsner, drier and more hop-led than a Munich lager. The grist is two-row base malt with Caramel 60, hopped with Cascade and Mt. Hood. It pours a clear deep gold and smells of bread crust, light honey and a faint citrus peel. Toasty malt with a hint of toffee carries the palate, a soft spicy bitterness answers it, and the finish is clean and dry. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
