There aren’t a whole lot of dortmunders brewed in Ontario, so when I saw
that Godspeed Brewery had one, called Otsukaresama, I was pretty
pumped. Otsukaresama is a 4.8% pale lager sold in 355mL cans. The
Torontonian brew is a clear, copper gold potion with a short-lived
eggshell head.
Otsukaresama has a grainy, dry, noble
hop aroma. The flavour has an agreeable touch of toastiness, a slightly
metallic vibe, and a pretty robust hop character that gives it a nice,
dry finish.
My limited understanding is that
“otsukaresama” translates into “thank you for your hard work”, so I
think Otsukaresama makes for a solid after-work beer—crisp and
crushable, with great flavour, but not overpowering. Solid.
Rating: 8.0 out of 10.
