Commercial Description:
Bottle: Filtered.
Ingredients: 2 row German pale malt; Czech Saaz, German Northern Brewer hops.
Heaps o’ hops are hiding under the full, frothy head of this elegant Pils. All German malt subtleties linger beneath a long dry finish of this classy quencher.

Nice pour with a bit of head that dissapates rather quickly. Nice bitter finish and complexities that I do not normally see in a more traditional pilsner. Very sessionable and I have to hand it to Victory this is a great answer to having Miller light for your beer of choice when you are on a mission if you will. Nice balance for a pilsner though, but this style is simply not my favorite so I am never going to rate one too highly no matter what. I do have to recommend this one though as it does have more character and yes I have had 10 of them in one evening more, one interesting evening!

Poured hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma of pine and citrus. Medium bodied. Good balance.

Bottle and for what its worth i think this is a dam fine pils. Pours a golden orange body with a white head. Citric, grassy and earthy notes. Dry and bitter finish but still crisp clean and satisfying. Some grain and hay but still nice caramel and a tea like bitterness maybe even a bit tannic. I’m a fan.

Bottle. Pours a clear gold with one finger white head. Aroma is of grass and slight malt. Taste is light and refreshing. Starts off with a bitter kick and progresses into a slight skunky grassy flavor. Very nice. The best representation of the pilsner style I’ve tried so far. Thumbs up!

Bloody light, almost fluorescent with a puffy white head. Slightly limey cereals. Lightly sweet and crisp. Good hops, lightly drying. Limes appear again with oiled piney notes. Good levels of carbonation give wee tickles to the tongue. A good dryness assaults the back of the throat. I’m not huge on pilsener but this is a delightful one.

OK, I’ll admit it! This has become my benchmark American made Pilsener. I’ve tried many others and they all pale in comparison to the Prima Pils. Colour... golden with delightfully frothy white head. Nose... fresh cut perennial rye grass, crushed hop cone and honeysuckle. Palate... nicely hoppy, citrus, honey, crisp, refreshing and enough malt to keep the hops company!

one of the best american pilsners I have had. Nice bright hops, it is hoppier than a european pils.

12oz. bottle (date stamped "enjoy by May 29 2009"). Pours a clear gold-orange, some enduring 1/8" head but excellent lacing. Aroma of citrus, straw?. hops. Starts slightly sweet, quickly turns dry/bitter, and finishes the dry. Good for a pilsener, but not as good as last year’s batch.
