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.

(draft) Lightly hazed amber body with white head. Aroma is mild, almost nonexistent, maybe a wisp of cookie dough. Taste is medium sweet, caramel, grassy, light lemon, floral. Light body.

Had a 1/6 of this last night w/some friends.Very much like a cross between Dominion ale and lager w/a tease of caramel malt/nice spritzy hop finish.The beer was a nice orange/golden color/a tad hazy.A beer that I didn't care for the first pint around but it grew on me by the second.Overall this is a very tasty sesion brew with a horrid hangover waiting for any who indulge in large quantities(Beware!)Nice fat head and nice lace.

Had this on draft at the Old Dominion Brewpub on 1-10-04. Saw an earlier rating about this only being available at another location. This must have changed now because it most certainly was available at the brewpub. Blond body with a small white head. Nose has some malt and hops. Some more malt on the tongue along with a slight grassy note. Crisp finish.

On tap at Hero's in Manassas. Pretty decent. Deep amber color with a slim white head. Nice aroma and pretty smooth taste. Didn't expect much and this met my needs. OK Brew.

Pale amber with a medium white head. Bready malt aromas. Flavor is ale-ish with definite lager notes. An odd hybrid beer. Medium bodied.

Had a pitcher of this at Cinema Drafthouse in Arlington, VA while watching "Old School." Nice amber color, frothy cream head. Cool and clean in the mouth. Crisp, light hop finish. Imagine Killians with hoppy aftertones.

Good overall ale...nice taste! Only available at Hero's in Manassas, Virginia! I actually just saw this rating and had it posted under the wrong beer.
