Commercial Description:
Victory Amber Lager: Orginally made to the specifications of Pat Patton, owner of Hero's Restaurant in Manassas, VA. Victory Amber is a soft, smoot tasting beer made with an ale-style recipe using lager fermenation and conditioning techniques with the following malts: Two-Row Pale, Munich, Carapils, and Caramel. Perle, Willamette, and English Kent Golden hops are used. The beer is unfiltered and the remaining yeast, high in Vitamin B, gives the beer its unique opalescent amber color.

Draught at Old Dominion for breakfast - RBSG DC 06 Pale gold, no head or lacing. Nose of musky malt and stale hop. Light caramel. The flavor is balanced. Boring lager without many astounding characteristics. Finishes is toasty. eh.

(Draught) Pours a lightly amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, florals, and funky candy. Flavor of toasted malt, fruitiness, caramel, grass, and mild hops.

On tap at Dominion. Pours an attractive clear copper with a thick off-white head. Some caramel and grass in the nose. Flavor starts with notes of caramel malt, toffee, grassy noble hops and then a bit of an off taste that I can’t really describe. On the lighter side in taste. Medium body with moderated carbonation. Not bad, but it’s missing something.

Victory opens with a Munich malt aroma, subdued hops, and a fluffy head. More yeast than usual does not detract here, giving the beer a more alelike character. The light carbonation and hops do not quite balance the full, sweet malt flavor, but this blends very well.

Victory Amber Lager pours to a bright, red/amber color with a thick, creamy white head, and a moderate amount of carbonation. A really good balance of sweet and caramel malt aromas and zesty/cirtric hop aromas flood the nose. The palate is soft and malty, with really good pale, sweet, and caramel malt flavors that glide over the tongue. This beer is very smooth, round, making it very drinkable. Victory Amber Lager finishes malty up front, then is balanced with some nice herby/citric hop bitterness that slightly lingers. This is a very polished beer with a very clean malt and hop profile. I really like this beer, it has vibrant hop and malt flavors and aromas, yet is so smooth and drinkable. I could drink a lot of this beer.

Draft... Lightly hazy, golden lager. Not even close to being amber :-( No head. The aroma and flavor are fruity, strawy and gristy. Perfectly balanced. Medium-bitter. Light-bodied and fizzy. Crisp, clean finish.

Deep golden/straw in color, with hopcit, malt, and slightly gin-like aroma. Tastes malty, with hops, citrus, some toffee, and cabernet at the finish. Not bad at all.

Amber in color, bright, crisp, nice foamy white head with some lacing around the glass, a slight hint of hops in the nose, smooth & drinkable, but flavors were very bland, not a whole lot going on in the glass, basically just a beer you could pound on a night out with the boys
