Victory Prima Pils

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

Fantastic pilsner. Hop-heavy with good malt background and a lot of style.

I had to go mail order just to try this Pilsener out and I have to say, it was one of my better decisions. I’ve never tasted a more bold sample of the style: Enormous hop flavour when first poured..almost like it’s a totally unbalanced brew complete with enormous carbonation but wait a few moments and everything seems to settle down. The taste of malt finally creeps in and the huge bubbles are now small. Almost like 2 beers in one; the foamy head is retained through both stages of this beer’s life. ;^)

I think this is an extremely under-rated beer. I never liked pilsners (or any lagers for that matter) and purposely avoided this brew. Finally, a neighbor coaxed me into trying this superb beer. I've gotta tell you that I think I this as good or better than Hop Devil!

Huge hop nose and flavor. The hops are floral, herbal, pine and spruce by turns and the finish long and bitter. At the right temperature, the malt comes out and actually enhances the wonderful hop experience. Very similar to Tupper Hop Pocket. Both outstanding.

This is one of the best pilsners out there hands down. It pours an nice golden hazy color and retains a full head. Has a grassy aroma to it, with hints of lemon. This brew has a rich aromatic hoppy taste which makes this a trully exceptional excellent brew.

is it a pilsener? it's so delicoius with no annoying nose or corny taste. actually, has a surpising sweet malt taste, unlike most even czech pilseners. a pleasure the whole way through. note: a good one to wean stubborn americans onto something great.

There is no other pilz I’ve ever had...maybe Live Oak..that comes close to this one. It might sound ridiculous to say this about a beer but this one is a serisou testament to restraint and subtlety. Even though it explodes in your mouth and rakes your nose, this beer is elegant and powerful. I’d compare it to an olympic track athelete. Straw-golden pour; white fluffy head. Hop slice in the nose that fades into a faint and floury dough. Savory edge. No sweetness. That is what makes this thing exquisite. The paper-thin malt and the lean and mean hops unite in the nose to create something divine. When you drink this beer the first thing you get is a smack upside the head. Your mouth is jarred awake. Then however, as the carbonation deflates in your mouth, the hops slide down the walls of your palate and gracefully...gracefully settle into your jaw. This is powerful. This is extremely inspiring and great. I LOVE THIS BEER!

Reminds me of the pilsners that can only be gotten on tap in Germany. Color, head, aroma are as good as it gets for a pils. Flavor is amazing. This is as good a bottled pilsner that can be found stateside.
