Dortmunder Export style (in kegs, ready for beerfest). This Dortmunder turned out great, exactly what I was looking for, nice light color, nice head, good malty german flavor, balanced with just the right amount of hops.

This batch is my first batch of Dortmunder, and my 98th beer batch. It turned out great, makes me wonder why I have not made this style sooner. I hope you like it too.
