Imperial Pint at Victory. Pours a very light golden with nice carbonation- and a fluffy lasting sticky white head. Aroma is like a very crisp clean subdued APA with a nice citrusy bite, some centennial, and other American hops but not over the top- they let some very crisp almost pilsner like malts to come through. Clean crisp refreshing flavor light pilsner malts, some pale crackeryness to it, fresh biscuits, pizza dough and a nice slight sharp floral and citrus hop kick throughout. Very clean and smooth finish. nice blond ale.

Draught @ Victory: This one pours a very clear, golden color. There is a frothy white head on it. The aroma is lighter. There are notes of malts and floral hops. The taste is good. Lighter malt body with a touch of floral hops. Very easy to drink. A fine session beer.

Sampled at the brewpub. Gold color with frothy white head. A typical wheaty ale with a splash of pearlike fruit flavor splashed in. Good for what it is, but doesn’t warrant gushing praise.

Draught at Victory: Aroma of floral hops, light grass, slight lemon, and light malts. Poured pale gold in color with a creamy, dense, white head that lasted throughout. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor was lightly sweet. Tastes of pale malts, grass, hops, and a hint of lemon. Light to medium body. Oily, then chalky and dry texture. Average carbonation. Grassy, lemony, dry finish.

Light and refreshing, easy to drink, fairly low alcohol, almost a session beer. Clear gold, small head. Not close to my favorite of the new crop from Victory. Crisp and dry, citrus and bitter hops, light and balanced. A well made golden.

Tap at Bling Tiger. Aroma spicy hops, some raspberry. Flavor of orange peel, sustained grassy and spicy bitterness against a fruity malt background. Nice and refreshing.

Tap at Blind Tiger. Lightly corny aroma with a clean finish. Some adjuncts with a grainy flavor. Kind of heavy. Not an easy drinker.

Tap at Blind Tiger. Very pale golden ale, thick white head. Aroma is very hoppy with nice light lean pale malts. Clean and approaching a lager in terms of it’s cleanness. Lightly spicy/citrusy but with a lingering herbal character. I can’t believe this isn’t a pilsner, because it could pass for one, and would do well against many of ’em. Light and refreshing.
