Oxymoron (104), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Feb 28, 2008 Pours a vibrant yellow color with a clear complexion, good head retention and limited lacing. The smell was sweet with citrus notes and some herbal scenes as well. Taste has a crisp, dry and hoppy flavor. No skunk flavors and very easy to drink. A great pils backing but there is more of an American style feel. The hop is very floral and crisp. The malt is the stronger of the two flavors. I think that what this beer has going for it is that it is super easy to drink, the flavor is smooth with out the European skunk and its easy to get. DJC (238), USA Feb 28, 2008 Rich, golden body with a respectable, white, lacing head. Assertive hop aroma, and that gives you an idea of what to expect in the flavor department. This Pilsener is aggressively hopped, yet Victory added enough malt to keep everything in check. Actually, this is one of the few Pilseners that go very well with the winter months; yes, I think it’s that bold. Anyway, the carbonation level is nearly perfect, and the overall mouthfeel is quite satisfying. This truly is a very fine beer, and I will definitely purchase it again in the near future. AdamSkillin (376), High Bridge, New Jersey, USA Feb 28, 2008 I love bitter pilsners like this with spicy food. I have to eat to get the bitterness off my tongue, then I have to drink to quench the heat. It’s what systems engineers call a positive feedback situation. DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA Feb 27, 2008 Thanx to ElMatador for this.A real solid offering from Victory.I have good things about this brew and they are true.A solid flavorful lager.Clean, crisp and refreshing.A small bitter finish. unrulythings (73), Portland, Oregon, USA Feb 24, 2008 pours a bright golden color with an average sized white head. aroma is of sugary lemons and grassy hops. flavor is complex starting off hoppy and ends with a spicy bite. I’ve yet to be unsatisfied with anything from Victory. GaltScat (195), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA Feb 21, 2008 A very hoppy pilsner. Aroma is curious and fun with spicy and grassy notes, with a tinge of orange rind. Flavor is dominated by hops (spicy, hints of resin begin to appear) with a strongly bitter finish. Some malt flavor. Overall the flavors are bold. The finish is interestingly dry. Collint (452), Sylva, North Carolina, USA Feb 15, 2008 12 oz bottle. Bought it with good intensions. I wanted to have another good victory. This one was not as good as the others. Poures a light head and golden yellowish body. Grass and light hops are present. Good, not great. pepsican (884), The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA Feb 12, 2008 Pours gold with a decent sized white head. Sweet grass, hops, and bread aroma. Flavor wasn’t much different. A little bit of metal in the hop flavor, and the sweet is a bit overpowering and a funky earthy flavor pops its head in in a not so great way. Finishes clean, slightly bitter, thin. Decent.
