Victory Prima Pils

Brewed by Victory Brewing Company
Style: Pilsener
Downingtown, Pennsylvania USA

Bottled. Beautiful pale yellow (very pale indeed) beer with a lacing white head. Absolutely fantastic aroma of sweat, gooseberries, pineapple, clotted cream, wonderful hops, blood orange, rose, elderflower, wild strawberries and basil. Great taste where the gooseberry component is rather present. A cheeky interpretation of the style. Long dryish finish which is reminiscent of tropical fruit. Good bitterness. Complex. Definetely a top notch Pilsener. Flawless. Incredible. A "must try" for any fan of the style.

12oz bottle. Aroma of honey, citrus hops, white wine. Average sized foamy white head that mostly diminished and left great lace. Light yellow gold hue. Clear and sparkling body. Flavor is sweet and fruity with a slight crisp hop finish. Palate is lively and watery. Light bodied and refreshing. Wow, what a great beer. Very refreshing and quite drinkable. Far and away the best pilsener I’ve ever had.

bottle- the best out there for me- super huge saaz hops nose, followed by a crisp hoppy bite and sufficient pilsner malt support- Wow.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz glass into a Pilsener glass. Appearance: The body has a bright golden yellow color with plenty of sparkling carbonation and great clarity. The head is a wonderful thick and creamy topping with good retention. It also makes great lace rings on the glass as I drink. Smell: The aroma hits you in the nose with spicy floral and grassy hops over pale malt. Taste/Mouth: Its flavor is a crisp clean mix of its aroma. Hop flavor steals the show with bold spicy floral and grassy botanical notes. Underneath there is a pale crisp malt base that finishes dry with some nice clean hop bitterness. The palate is light to medium bodied with an easy drinking light wet texture. Carbonation is very active and helps to clean the palate. Notes: This is a great example an American craft beer take on a classic Pilsener. The hops are bolder than there Euro counterparts.

A: Poured with a large, creamy white head that slowly dissipated down to a full 2-fingers, where it stayed for the duration of drinking. Fair lacing on the sides of the glass. Body is light yellow and clear, with a slight touch of haziness. S: Bit of cooked corn, but very minor compared to so many other pilseners. Fruitiness comes through the most... lemon, apples, and others. T: An extremely refreshing, fruity taste that finishes with a nice, crisp bitterness. Just awesome. M: Light-bodied with a creamy texture, and average carbonation. D: Without a doubt the best pilsener I’ve had yet... and I don’t know if I’ll ever have a better one.

Poured from bottle into Pilsner glass. Clear, bright gold with a stark white head. Aroma of fresh cut grass, straw and some spiciness. Backbone of fruit (apple, pear?), bread, grass and straw which is quickly overtaken by a very spicy finish. Leaves a persistent bitter aftertaste. Moderate carbonation (but lower than many Pils; I like it) and relatively smooth light to medium body. Finishes exceedingly dry. Damn good Pils; in fact, maybe the best. What else is there to say?

Great German Pilsener, yellow colored pour with a nice white head. Nice hoppy flavor that gets better while drinking, overall very enjoyable..

Spicy fruity hop aroma, very belgian-like, over a perfect yellow shining body and a small bubble white head. Taste has lots of fruity belgian spice, a floral hop finish, great balance, and crisp finish. Great pils.
