Dort Light
A lighter version of Dortmunder Gold, launched in June 2026 and listed as year-round. It uses the same grist of two-row base malt and Caramel 60 with Cascade and Mt. Hood hops, brewed down to 2.9 percent alcohol. The brewery itself calls it a mid-strength beer rather than a stripped-back light lager. Bready malt and a touch of caramel sweetness lead, a floral, gently spicy hop note follows, and the body is thin but not watery, ending crisp and short.
