| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 1, 2003 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. daboskabouter (1470), Fergus, Ontario, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 1, 2003 Dark golden color with a light white head. Aroma is grassy with a slight touch of hops. Body is sweet and grassy. Light crisp hops kick in, finishes bitter. Nate (2552), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Apr 29, 2003 Nice hops/malt balance. Only a bit rubbery. Small off-white head and bright clear amber liquid. Light medium carbonation and medium watery body. Good malt quality. Decent hops with nice bittering. Smooth finish and after. Well-balance lager. gsmitty80 (642), Washington DC, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 27, 2003 Not a bad brew from Victory but it tasted to me like a weak american ale not a Helles. Wouldnt buy it compared to their other products solely but in a sampler it is a nice switch. Uglyradio (775), Greenville, South Carolina, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 13, 2003 This one pours a clear, golden color with a small, diminishing, white, fizzy head. The aroma is moderately hoppy with a lightly malty backbone. Light body with medium carbonation, it has a dry texture with an initially lightly sweet flavor and a light, bitter finish. This is a great lager, smooth, flavorful and very quenching. Ludwig (60), USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 10, 2003 This is one real smooth lager, no bitterness or tang, not very complex, but a very drinkable brew. Braudog (3766), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 7, 2003 Golden beer and crystal smooth. Malty, of course, and lightly bitter. As you'd expect this is very malty. CaptainCougar (5490), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 21, 2003 Lightly bitter noble hop aroma. Body is clear and crisp with a nice balance of Munich malt. Finish is hoppy and semi-sweet. A good smooth session beer.
