Victory Prima Pils

Pour is glowing straw crystal straw with a big head which settle with no head. Smells slightly of apple and flowers and slight corky flavor. Crisp feel with a bright bitterness which lingers. This is refreshing and big, a terrific beer.

Bottle. Bright, Clear Yellow with a small white head. Crisp hops dominating the smell and taste, but not overly bitter. Floral, citrus, spicy. Good malty finish, dry and bitter. Replaces Christoffel as my favourite Pils!

Pours a pale boring yellow with a fast dissipating head that, even when poured quickly, did not show much strength to begin with. Aroma is floral, with hops. Extremely refreshing, a burst of dryness hits your mouth immediately. Mouthfeel is somewhat boring, seems to trip over itself. Overall? A little uninspiring. Seems like the bitterness of an IPA without the strong flavour, instead the flavour of a Pilsner.

355 mL bottle. Gold with a film of head. Noble hops, straw, citrus and herbs in the aroma. Flavour is hoppier than most pilsners I’ve tried. There is some pilsner malt in there as well, which becomes more apparent as the beer warms. Finishes very nicely dry and bitter. Fullish, for the style. Very nice.

This is my top pilsener so far! Pours golden colour with minimal white head. Great hops on the nose and coming through on tthe taste as well. Good sweet malt flavours with crisp grassy hops. Very refreshing, this is a perfect summer beer!

Pours a hazy greenish yellow, with a soft creamy, persistent head, with gentle and fine lacing. Nose is straight up Saaz, earthy, rich, spicy, pepper, tight-sour-malt Pilsener aroma, plenty of lemongrass. Palate is creamy, smooth, and nice and nippy, biting pepper in the finish. Everything I want in a Pilsener, and not som much as a hint of Diacteyl. Solid.

Hazy gold with a white head. Big yeasty, peppery pale lager aromas. Medium body with a rough mouthfeel. Nice flavor is dryish spices with dusty pale malts. Has a peppery dry bitterness to finish. Nice Pils.

The famous Victory Prima Pils I’ve heard so much about lately is finally sitting in front of me. Pours slightly hazy with a very pale color and an enormous white head. I can smell the saaz from three feet away! This is one damn pungent pilsner. As I move the glass up to my nose the hop character kind of shifts to one of a much fruiter nature, the fresh hay is very strong on this one, but I’m not getting the honey I usually get from a great pils, not that it has to be there, it’s cool to have something that smells this good but is distinctly different from other beers of this nature. The flavor is nicely bitter with a good lemony citrus character! Plenty of that almost bracingly bitter saaz hop character is all over this one too, and it makes for a really good aftertaste, not something I usually take note of in a beer, but this one finishes particularly strong. There is some good malt flavor for balance here too, it’s really very minimally grainy but has a very nice honey flavor that rounds this one out remarkably. Wonderfully clean, very easy to drink, I’ve almost finished the bottle sitting here typing this, I’m generally finished with my rating well before the bottle is half gone, I really want to drink a lot of this!
