The perfect Dortmunder. I’ve been buying this one regularly and get nervous when I’m running low. The genius is in the subtlety and balance. Those words often connote ’boring’, but this is a powerful balance and a rewarding beer. Very much like Dominion Lager, but with a bit less hops and more integrated flavors.

All Malt Lager is styled after a classic German Export, a style made famous in the city of Dortmund. Export is a very drinkable, tasty beer, which falls some where in between a Helles and and a Pils. It has a just a touch more malt character than your average Helles, but is a little less hoppy then your classic German Pils. Balance is what defines this beer, and Victory’s example is one of the best domestic examples of this style you will ever taste. It is brew with with 2 row German malts, and whole flower German hops, and comes in at 5.2% abv. Victory All Malt Lager pours to a beautiful, bright, deep golden color, with a bright white head that fades, and a moderate amount of carbonation. The nose on this beer is fantastic with a very pleasing, spicy/grassy hop aroma. The plate on this beer is so crisp and clean, with really great pale malt flavors, with a smooth, round body. Victory All Malt Lager finishes with more crisp malt character up front, then ends with a quick and snappy, grassy hop bite that balances this beer out to perfection. It is the simple, yet elegant character of this beer, that makes it such a wonderful beer to drink.

This is an excellent lager. It pours a nice deep golden color with a thin white head which dissipates fairly quickly and leaves no lace. The aroma is clean and fruity, with bread-like overtones. The taste is malty and smooth, with enough hops to clean the palate. The finish is very clean, with just a hint of a fruity aftertaste. (original dortmunder recipe)
