Nose of grain, semi-sweet bread. Front taste is grain, vegetal, slight butter on the back end. Aftertaste is grassy, canned veggies. Thin body. Mouthfeel is cool, round, a little sticky on the tongue.
This is a mediocre beer, one that could perhaps serve as a "bridge beer," a beer that helps ween a Bud Light drinker into the craft beer world. It's aroma is barley, some veggie notes, slightly sweet malt, all of which are hallmarks of macro beers. The head is gone in the blink of an eye. I had to take my photos quickly as the head dropped as if it were in a contest.
If you're used to Bud Light, Coors Light, and the like, and want to explore craft beer, I suppose you could to worse than this simple lager. The brewery is proud of how "simple" it is, but one should strive to be both simple and still outstanding. If you are a seasoned craft beer enthusiast, you could enjoy this around a barbecue, maybe even marinade your beef skewers in this. Otherwise, I'd look elsewhere. Pass on this one.
From the brewery:
"Named after our father's grandmother, Dorothy's is our 'Classic Beauty." She is easy going, mild in body, and clean in taste. Each sip charms the senses with distinct flavor and refreshing simplicity. Just like Grandma Dorothy, our unfiltered flagship beer is forever dear to our hearts."

| Head dissipated right before my eyes. |

| Head was completely gone after about a minute. Disappointing, even for a simple lager. |
