Victory Prima Pils

Not too impressed. Grassy hops with some light grainy malt, kinda boring. Huge, frothy, white head with decent retention covering a nice golden colored beer. Taste is moderately bitter on the back end and very watery for 5.3%. Again, boring. Watery mouthfeel with lively carbonation. Victory makes better beers.

Victory’s Prima Pils is a very good pilsener with a light golden color and a short-lasting head.

Stylistically, this a perfect pilsener! Unfortunatelly, pilseners are boring. This is a very tastey pils though. A bit of hops aroma with the traditional lager malt. A nice smooth beer. A great sell to turn people onto micros.

Pretty good american pilsener. A little hoppier than a pilsener should typically be, but not a bad thing. Very crisp and refreshing but has a grassy taste. Give one of these to your friend who only drinks miller lite for a special treat.

On tap at the Purple Onion, Saluda, NC. Pilsner? Really? It certainly looks like a pilsner in the glass, but beyond that, I wouldn’t even peg it for a lager, let alone a Pilsener. To me it was much more reminiscent of an IPA or and APA. That being said, it’s a great beer in its own right. The palate was somewhat thin and sulfurish, and the nose somewhat sweet, but I’d gladly have more. When I want an American-made Pilsenser, I think I’ll stick to Trumer.

Poured a hazy pale yellow with minimal head and no real lacing. Slight aroma like lemons and a little hops. A hop malt subtle taste and dry. I would say hopi but is kept in check, for me average all around.

Not much nose. Hazy gold appearance, almost looked like a Wit. Decent balance, a little on the sweet side. Heavy body for a Pilsner, was not very crisp. Overall not too bad, just seemed like a misdirected Pilsner.

Bottle poured into a nice pils glass. Appearance: Pale, golden yellow. Nice white head. Great lacing and a nice bubbling effect. Smell: Strong, grassy hops. Memories of mowing the lawn from this one. Taste: One smooth beer. The hops are strong for the style but not overpowering. Faint malt presence. Good hop bitterness. Spicy fading to grassy/floral. The malt remains faint throughout, but never fades completely and compliments the hops well. Just a hint of sweetness just before the dry finish. Mouthfeel: The bubbling glass made me worry about the carbonation, but it was spot-on when drinking. Very light in the mouth, but just chewy enough. Drinkability: This is probably my favorite session beer, and is always in my fridge. The right level of alcohol and refreshment for a hot summer day (or any other day).
