| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 12, 2006 Slight haze on a golden beer with a fluffy white head. Spicy hops dominate the aroma with a hint of black pepper. Brighter hop flavor than most pilseners I’ve had. I was surprised to learn that this was a single hop beer as it doesn’t seem one dimensional at all. Grassy finish with a hint of lemon peel. Very good!

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 10, 2006 Updated: Dec 31, 2006On tap at Tyler’s as part of their Pint Night promotion. In the presence of Tom, aka OldGrowth. Quite the pleasure, Tom. Pour was a very clear yellow-cant remember the last time I’ve had a beer this color in a glass. Smell is musty, funky hops. Flavor is similar, moderately bitter with resinous wet hops abounding. Pretty good, and a great example of the style I guess, but still just not my thing. Zeswaft (1000), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 7, 2006 First of all, if I was a rapper my name would be Braumeister Pils. Secondly, this beer is awesome...for a lager. I had this on tap and it is quite delicious. Even got some specks of yeast in the glass. Not sure that there was much aroma and what there was was typical of a well crafted pils. The flavor is subtle but totally complete. It was moderately malty with a fair amount bitterness. I noticed the malt more than the hops, actually. I kept comparing the flavor to that of popcorn. buttery and sweet on the palate and crisp, dry, and bitter on the finish.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 26, 2006 Tap at Barcade. Very, very pale golden beer with a fluffy white head. Incredible fresh hop nose with lots of flowery notes, zesty earthiness and a bright noble spiciness that really needs to be smelled to be believed. Saaz are usually underutilized, but here they’re bright and expressive. Flavour is also all juicy/spicy noble hops. Soft minerally character accents this nice massive spiciness. Malts are barely there, just showing a kiss of breadiness and softness of palate that balances the crisp hops. Awesome pils. LiebeBier (793), Annapolis, Maryland, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 21, 2006 Draft - A great beer with a clear golden color and white head. The flavor is a bit more malty and a bit less bitter than the Prima Pils. Clean and refreshing. Excellent beer. I had a huge selection of beer to choose from, but wanted more of this.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 16, 2006 Updated: Aug 11, 2007On tap at Grey Lodge. Light golden color with white head. Citrusy, floral hop aroma with similar aroma to Prima Pils, only better. Taste is pretty damn good - Smooth, floral hop taste that is nicely balanced with great pils malt. Truly unique - I felt like I could keep drinking this all day. Refreshing taste that it the best Pilsener around by a long shot. Glouglouburp (2826), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 12, 2006 (Draft at Barcade) Clear yellow with a medium white head. Nose is barn/hay, even a bit stinky but not in a bad way. Very satisfying body full of crisp bready malts. Plenty of noble hops perfectly balances the malty body. Some morning honeyed-cereal and isual pils citrusy flavours. Manages to be refreshing like a regular pilsner but way more tasty than average. Excellent although not quite the stunning beer that many make it to be. Judging by the low number of ratings so far this seems to be Victory’s best kept secret. I think every men should have access to Victory’s secret (I said Victory’s, no Victoria’s). HopBackDoc (394), Hatboro, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 12, 2006 On tap at the Blue Dog Family Tavern. Slightly hazy light golden color with small white head. Floral hop aroma. Crisp flavor brimming with hops and malts. Mildly bitter and refreshing. This would be a nice summer beer if they could make it in that season. Easy drinking and tasty. Another good beer from Victory.
