Victory Prima Pils

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

Bottle pours a translucent light yellow.   Minor milky head, good carbonation, decent lacing.   Straw and light hops on the nose.   Malty sweetness up front, gliding into a light hop palate, finishing with a clean, crisp, light, spicey, hop taste .   A very good and easy drinking Pils.   Thanks goes out to Pabobcat for the trade!

Bottle: Pours with a medium/large frothy white head and a pale golden yellow. Aroma is light malts and hops. The hops continue into the taste, where they nicely balance out the malt qualities. This is the most amount of hops I’ve tasted in a Pilsner and I really like it. Victory has managed to up the hoppiness, but not take away from any of the more subtle malt qualities of their pilsner. Very refreshing, very crisp, slightly bitter. Excellent lager.

Pours a slightly clouded straw gold with minimal head that falls to nothing. Nose is a matured and subdued lemon.Yeast that is light somewhat and is reminiscent of a Belgian strain. Flavor is slightly citrus like with a smooth and slightly heavily bodied character. Veryeven, never drops off. Just fades away over time. Feel is just a touch thicker on the liquid and medium to high on the carbonation level. Very drinkable. Smooth,even and pretty well made. Worth a shot. Or buy a case of it for a party.

On tap, nice medium amber, no head to speak op. Big Sazz Boquet. Big hop flavor with some malty sweetness and some fruity undertones. Light to medium mouth feel, great Plz.

DRAFT Cloudy gold / Dry, light nose / Medium body with smooth, slightly sweet, forward honey flavors and dry grain finish.

12oz. Bottle Prima Pils poured a very pale golden. Crystal clear with a 1 finger eggshell white head. The head sticks on this one. Moderate carbonation rises in random spots off the bottom. Smells of grain with a touch of sweetness. There’s also a little hay in the nose as as well. A nice noble hop spiciness comes through at the end. Taste is good. Like a pilsner but the flavors seem to be more pronounced than most which is a plus. There’s hay/grassy flavor throughout that balances with the graininess in the back. The hop spiciness comes through at the swallow. This is all followed up by a nice mild but lingering bitterness that makes you want to take that next gulp. Mouthfeel is where it should be. Light but not watery. Carbonation pushes it through. Drinkability is high. The body and mouthfeel make it an easy drinker and the hops leave a nice lingering bite that leaves you wanting more. Very dry finish. Sampled 10/13/06

Poured from a 12oz bottle and served in a shaker. This pilsener poured a clear golden with a large, foamy white head that slowly faded away. Thin, spider-web like lacing was left around the glass. The aroma of the beer was made up of spicy hops, fresh bread, and hay. The flavor included upfront herbal hops, biscuit, lightly sweet malts, and also a bit of lemony citrus. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and crisp with a moderate amount of carbonation, finishing with a dry, lasting, light bitterness. A really nice pilsener, and a great session beer. 7,3,7,3,14-3.4

Rerate: As time goes on and a decent number of sixers have passed through my fridge, this is becoming one of my go-to beers. Awsome Saaz aroma and taste. Consistent quality and ever enjoyable. A great pilsner! 8,4,8,4,16-4.0

Bottle poured into a pilsner glass. Pours a solid gold with a pristine white head. Aroma is malty with some hops. The taste is of crisp grains, malt and hops. One of the better pilseners I’ve had.
