Courtesy of jerrymorrison. This pours a golden color topped with a thick head which yields notches of lacing, after almost every sip. The aroma is malty and saazy as well as a little zesty and herbal. This is a nicely hopped pilsner. Saazy hops, a bit earthy, sweet grassy malts, and a wonderful crisp, bitter, dry finish. An excellent Pilsner. One of the best I’ve had. Thanks Jerry!

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.
