Victory Prima Pils

Brewed by Victory Brewing Company
Style: Pilsener
Downingtown, Pennsylvania USA

50ml, bottle. Last drink on the second day at CBF 09. White foamy head, yellow-golden body. Fresh and nice fruit hoppy aroma. Smooth flavour of noble hops and pale malts. Fair bitter endnotes Clean tasting and easy going. Far better than what is called pils in Norway (late on 16.05.2009).

355ml bottle from Beers of Europe. What a difference a good dose of hops can make to a pale lager. This is full of flavour - firm and tangy without being aggressive, leaving a healthy English hop bitterness unusual for a lager. The hop impact is such that it feels immediately American, even though the ingredients are all European. This is a modern brewing approach to traditional ingredients and methods, and it works well. A very drinkable and attractive brew.

Bottle @ København Ølfestival 2009. Aroma has is well hopped with grassy hops. Little hint of sourness there. Hazy, yellow coloured beer with a white head. The taste is bitter and well hopped. Quality ingredients. Very good pilsener.

On tap. Golden in color with a nice head. Aroma is light of grassy hops. Very dry. Earthy hops dominate the flavor from the beginning. Long dry finish. Well, I’m just not a pilsner lover.

Bottle at KØ09. OK hop aroma, weakly citric. Clear golden colour. Distinct bitterness, slightly rough and quite clean. Apart from the bitterness, it is slightly boring.

Botella. Golden colour. Sweet hoppy flowery aroma. Good mouthfeel. The flavour has a pleasant bitterness with pine, fruits, good maltiness, caramel and a dry bitter finish. Refreshing pils.

Clear light yellow with a lasting white head. Good lacing. Grassy hay aroma with light biscuit notes. Dry grassy flavor with a nice sweet/dry buicuit background. Light body lively carbonation. Dry bitter grassy finish. Solid pilsner.
