Victory Prima Pils

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

The grassy, lemony aroma is the perfect prelude to this crisp refresher. This is the lightest colored, yet fullest flavored lager I have come across. The body is surprinsingly full and complex, noting sour fruits, honey and straw - a wild mix of sour, sweet and earthy flavors that work wonderfully well together. The loads of bittering hops add a great finish that lingers. Wonderful stuff.

Pours golden and clear with a quickly diminishing head. Floral and fruity scent. Perfect balance of malt and hops for a pilsner. Nice and crisp with a pleasant bitter taste that runs through til the finish. Slightly malty flavor also appears on the finish. Great palate--totally refreshing pilsner.

Bottle. Not the kind of brews I usually drink but I think if all Pils were made like this I would drink them more. Crisp, light, and happy.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy straw color with a bountiful white head. Aroma is of soft floral hops, with an emphasis on Saaz. Notes of grass and light malt. Flavor is very sharp with a great hop bite and finishes very clean. There is also a strong german malt backbone to it that comes out in mid swallow. This is what a true pilsner ought to taste like. Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated with a light fizziness. This is just a great refreshing knock your socks off beer. An American classic.

bottle-This beer poured out golden and crisp with a decent head.The smell at first was a turnoff as it smelled skunked.However the taste was hoppy and it had a great malt profile.This is a really fine American pilsner.

Draft at Gordon Ramsay’s at the London, New York. Great that even two star restaurants have craft beers nowadays. Full malty flavour, hoppy aroma, dry crisp finish. An ideal food companion.

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.

12 oz. bottle. Clear golden hue with beautiful white head, well maintained. Refreshing malt flavor well balanced by floral hops, most likely Saaz. Dry in the finish, an excellent example of the style.
