When Riverbend Malt does a cool malt swap with Skagit Valley Malting, you order that Talisman malt REAL FRIGGIN’ QUICK. These two craft maltsters did a base malt swap, and then malted grains from each others’ respective areas (rather than focusing on their own local malt), so this was the perfect opportunity to do some fun experimentation with terroir. Thus, “VR Pizza Boi” was born.
With this in mind, we changed up the plan and brewed a style we’ve been keeping in our pocket for something a little more fun: DORTMUNDER EXPORT LAGER. Yeah, that’s right… the style EVERYONE has just constantly been asking for. Essentially, this style is similar to a Pilsner, but less bitter, and similar to a Helles, but more malt-forward, and with a much harder water profile than either of those. Subtle bitterness, pronounced malt, high minerality. Hell yeah.
Notes of fresh baguettes in the morning, a hint of fruit akin to sucking on a Peach noyaux, licking a real nice granite countertop, and a lovely Honeysuckle bouquet. This probably goes well with pizza. Just sayin’.

A: Pours a very lightly hazy pale yellow in color with slightly heavier than moderate amounts of carbonation rising quickly from the bottom of the glass and moderate pale golden yellow + straw yellow colored highlights. The beer has a two finger tall foamy white head that reduces to a large patch of thin film covering a little more than 75% of the surface of the beer and a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Light amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate aromas of toasted + grainy + biscuit + pale malts with a light to moderate amount of grainy sweetness. Light to moderate aromas of spicy + floral/honeysuckle hops. Hints of minerality.
T: Upfront there are moderate flavors of toasted + grainy + biscuit + pale malts with a light to moderate amount of grainy sweetness. That is followed by light to moderate flavors of minerality. Finally there is a light to moderate flavor of spicy + floral/honeysuckle hops which impart a light to moderate amount of bitterness which fades away fairly quickly.
M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Crisp with a clean finish.
O: Easy to drink with well hidden alcohol and a pleasantly crisp + clean mouthfeel which is quite refreshing. Could easily have a few of these.
