From old tasting notes. Labeled as "Victory Brandywine Valley Lager". Bright yellow gold color topped by a bubbly beige head. Fragrant caramel malt nose. Tangy, fruity malt flavor hints at pink grapefruit and mango. Nice spicy hop finish balances this ale nicely.

Notes from 2004. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a golden color with a trace white head that faded and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was fairly strong basic lager with a hint of ripe fruits. The flavor was fruity and malty with a effervescent quality. Short finish. Medium body. Solid.

Pale yellow color with a thin white head. Sweet grain aroma and a similar flavor.

Light copper; herbal, grassy, mossy hop nose with biscuity malts. A little fizzy for the style, grainy, with a soft grassy note. The aroma is good dortmunder, but the palate comes up short.

Original Export style: Virtually indistinguishable from any native Dortmunder style lager. A superb accomplishment from the guys at Victory. Very well balanced - creating a complexity that keeps the beer interesting til the last sip. Plenty of body.

I just tried their festbeir, and this is very similar, thought a bit better. This is a mighty fine lager. A great balance of light maltiness, sweetness, hops, as wiseguy pointed out. If this were not a Victory beer, I would probably rate it higher, but I hold them to a higher standard. This is a good beer for its style, but Victory makes much better.
