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.

Good, but overrated. Yes, it’s hoppier than the average pilsener and, honestly, it’s a solid beer, but I get over it pretty easy. Has a few nice dried fruit (apricot) and spice notes. The malt aftertaste is a touch skunked/metallic but still fairly clean. Just don’t see why this beer is so highly rated.Then again, if you (like most american microbreweries) equate hops with quality, you may have a new favorite pilsener.

Nice yellow color; Head left something to be desired; Grassy, wonderufl nose. Dry, spicey palate. A satisfying pils- maybe one of the best I have encountered.

Botle. Pours a slightly hazy pale golden with a small short lived white head. Aroma of floral and spicy hops with pilsner malt in the background. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and a dry crisp finish. Very good.

Victory Prima Pils ABV: 5% IBU: ? Calories: 150 Volume: 12 fl oz Glass: Tulip Purchased at: Joe Canal’s Price per fl oz: $8 / 72 fl oz = $0.11 per fl oz Consumed on/at: home on March 18th, 2008 sensory first impression: No head but a beautiful yellow golden beer. A pilsner, to be sure - pale, clear, and plain, visually. Aroma is smoky. Aroma is deep and rich. Aroma is hints of pork and cabbage. Taste is delicious, rich and hinting of other flavors. I taste bologna. I taste bread. I taste lettuce. I taste toast. It’s wonderfully balanced, a superlative taste but so very simple and unidimensional. Lacing is nice, but head is minimal. Warm with light alcohol. A great simple beer. Aroma/Olfactory: Malt flavor is: bread, cereal, nuts, toast, oats. Hop flavor is: resinous, floral, very herbaceous Yeast flavor is: doughy, thick, moldy, leathery, deep. Other flavors include: bubblegum, lightly cherry, ginger, raisin, smoke Visuals/Appearance: Color is: pale, golden, amber, light, thin, white. Liquid is: clear, immaculate Head and lace are: minimal, white Taste/Flavor: Maltiness or Sweetness level is: medium to heavy Hoppiness or Bitterness level is: light to medium Sour level is: none Palate/Tactile: Body or Mouthfeel is: medium Texture is: creamy, thick, silky Carbonation is: lively Finish is: long and wonderfully balanced. Overall experience: Visually this is not a stimulating beer, but so rewarding in other ways. It’s delicious in terms of taste, though not overwhelming in any way. It’s feel is enveloping, smooth, and mellow. Its aroma is enticing, but not overwhelming. It’s a wonderful beer, and easily my favorite pilsner.

THIS could very easily be one of the best American Pilsners I’ve ever had. First time was on tap at Map Room in Chicago, loved it. Pours clean with fluffy white head that lasts all the way through. The body and hops truly accentuate each other, and the mouthfeel is perfect for the style. Have one if you get the chance.
