The strongest of light lagers in terms of flavor, Dortmunder Exports display a solid malt body and healthy hopping. Noble hops should be apparent in the aroma, while the flavor should be balanced. The beers should appear clear and light to deep gold and offer a medium body.
Pair: Wash down strawberry-rhubarb cobbler with one of these brews; they offer enough heft to amplify the flavor but a clean finish to wash it all down. Or, try Dortmunders with Swiss cheese, pork chops or dried fruits.
