About Dottie Seattle Lager:
Dottie Seattle Lager is an Amber Session Lager (4.9% ABV, 25 IBU) that is made from the world-class brewing ingredients grown right here in Washington State.
This truly is a Seattle Lager with a base that is 100% Washington grown barley. The specialty grains, Vienna, Munich, and Melanoidin, add a sweet biscuit flavor to the beer that we balanced with a generous helping of American Nobel Hops to add spice to balance out this malty brew.
Dottie pours a clean and clear copper-reddish color with a frothy white head. The beer’s medium-light body and crisp finish results is a great all-season session beer.
