Victory Harvest Pils

On tap at Cole’s. Solid German pils with other characteristic, a kellerbier label suits it well. Pours yellowish with a head. A mild pleasant pils aroma. A bit above average mouthfeel. Refreshing and bitter, its a good bitterness. A pint, without food to break it up, is too much however.

Draft at Capones. Poured a crystal clear golden body with light effervescence rising from the center of the glass and a large fluffy bright white head. Aroma was lots of fresh hops crispness with some grain and cereal. The flavor had lots of fresh hops crispness with some greeny leafy vegatbles mixed in with cereal and grain. This one was light super crisp and refreshing, good stuff.

yellow golden pour with a nice white head and lots of lacing. mild grassy aroma. Tingly (is that a word?) palate. i like hoppy beers, but for some reason this one didnt work. I got a taste of very bitter cardboard. I am going to have to come back to this one, as i do have a cold, which could be causing my taste buds to be off.

Tap at Barcade: Pours a crisp, still light golden with perfect clarity and a dense white head. Clean, bright and grassy aroma with a spicy noble hop presence and very light crackery pils notes. Crisp dry body with a very dry and bitter flavor. There’s just enough crackery pils malt at the base to support the huge heavy noble peppery bitterness- which is almost vegetal like. Probably the driest and most bitter Pilsner I’ve had to date. Fantastic!

Draught. At Cole’s, Buffalo, NY. I want to start by saying my older sister, who is a wine lover and not enamoured much of beer (Molson and Labbat have a lot to answer for), LOVED this beer - and man oh man is it hoppy - I’m stunned. Poure clear light gold with an average draught white head. The aroma is solid, but sneaky - medium pungent grassy hops, a bit floral and spicy, a bit musty and a little clover-sweet. The taste - holy CRAP - huge pungent leafy/grassy bitter hop explosion - that’s it, just hops - some alcohol, and dry, but it grabs your tongue and leaves you with that "I’ve just bit into a unpeeled grapefruit" coated dry/bitter tongue - such a thick-bodied, crisp, lively mouthfeel too, and a finish that just doesn’t quit - wow: I’ve had DIPAs that are less bitter than this - well done!!!

On tap @ Coles, Buffalo NY. lighter golden pour. grassy hoppy aroma. Clean crisp hop flavor. light pepper, citrusy bitterness in the finish. Nice beer

On tap at the Grey Lodge. Clear straw with a brief white head. Nose is dough, honey and a touch of lemon zest. Crisp, almost creamy, with a slight tingle. Taste is bready, citrus peel and lime. Dry finish with grass and a green peppercorn bite. Wonderful session stuff.

Sampled on draft at Blind Tiger months and months ago. I think last summer.Pours a slightly hazy yellow body. It had a slight hop and bread aroma and flavor was refreshing and drinkable.
