does not count  Jul 19, 2008 Brings back memories of my visit to Germany. This beer is a very good representation of a true German pils. Very fresh Spalt and sazz flavor. Yellow straw color and a nice brussels lace.
If you are looking for a stronger hop profile with these hops try HOP IT by Urthel or Golden Promise by DogFish Head (Formerly Golden Showers)

Jul 19, 2008 (Sample from July 18, 2008 Beer Club Meeting) Super light pale yellow color. Aroma... like rubber gloves? What the heck? Taste is skunky and yet interesting. Light, though. Very floral, not as hoppy as I expected. Tastes almost like I’m licking surgical soap, but it’s still good if that makes any sense.

Jul 17, 2008 12 oz. Bottle. Classic golden yellow in color with a quickly dissipating white head. Nose is full of the Noble hop varieties with a bit of a spicy aroma. The flavor has a sharp bitterness and a bit of a grassy hop taste. The malt is present, but subtle with a mild sweetness that takes the edge off the hops. Body is about right for a pils, maybe a little thin behind all the hops. Finish is crisp with a lasting dry bite. Not my favorite style of beer, but it works great for Virginia during the muggy months of summer.

Jul 14, 2008 Well folks, I won’t call it heaps of hops but they are there. Bottle pours a nice yellow gold with asticky lacing and a quickly diminishing head. Body is malts covered by hops but not by much. Refreshing and hoppy. Easy drinking. A solid product from Victory.

Jul 13, 2008 Updated: May 25, 2009hops. Some hops. Some more hops. I was impressed with the amount of flavor in this for a pils, but the rest I found lacking at the time. Early rating so will have to re-rate.

pours super clear pale yellow with an eager but fading head. Primary taste and aroma is floral bitter hops, mouthfeel has a little honey like creaminess to it but not enough of a backing for my taste.

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle. I haven’t had too much experience with high quality lagers, but I’ve been looking for more pilsners to try. I really enjoy this pilsner. A nice, golden lager with a hoppy lagerish flavor and a crisp finish. A nice session beer that almost anyone can appreciate.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle and I feel like I’m repeating myself but its once again impressive. Malt is balanced very well with hops on the nose. Very short sweetness followed by a long bitterness. Very smooth and drinkable. This brewery consistently rises on my list.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle: Courtesy of my Secret Santa...thanks Jason. This is really a beautiful looking brew...pours a clear gold with a two-fingered white pillow-like head. Aroma is chock-full of hops and some ?Munich malts. Other notes of grass and very light citrus are present. Nice body for the style and very crisp and clean tasting. Flavor of malt and hops, very basic and not overly complex but wonderfully executed. Very nice brew that I wish I could buy in my area.
