This beer has a wonderful pale malt aroma with touches of light floral hops and just a hint of DMS for complexity. All of these elements combine and invite you in to take a sip. The flavor was crisp and clean with a gentle lingering hop finish. The malt and bitterness swirl over the palate and finish dry and crisp. A great beer when you want something light and refreshing to drink.

Grandpa Tractor
Description
Grandpa Tractor is Barley Forge’s Dortmunder Export, an almost forgotten style. This full-bodied, moderately hopped German lager was the favorite drink of coal miners and heavy industry workers of the first half of the 20th Century in Germany. Hoppier than a Helles and less hoppy than a Pils, our Dortmunder strikes a balance between the two with a hefty mouthfeel derived from Pilsen malt and higher alcohol content (around 5.0% abv). This refreshing beer goes well with the end of a hard day at work and pairs nicely with grilled steak, any type of pork dish, and any sort of Asian or Hispanic cuisine.
