Mmmmm. Bitterness never tasted so good. Can’t tell about the head cuz mine basically exploded when I opened it, but the color, taste was great. Body is thinner then Lagunitas Pils.

Smooth pilsner, hoppy. Hints of citrus, in aroma and taste. Easy to throw down...I drank 11 last night and wokeup on the floor, but when I was drinking them they were easy to drink. So, yo, Im about to rate my next beer...lata.

(Bottle (best by 6/15/06) from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/massachusetts/w target=blank>Julio’s Liquors) Hazy pale yellow pour with a large white foamy head. Great aroma of honey and sweet hay. Not much lacing. Mouthfeel is smooth, on the light side but still somehow full. Perfect carbonation. Flavor is a perfect honey and malt sweetness that finishes with a pleasant hop bitterness. Very well-balanced. Great flavor and very easy to drink. Nice honey aftertaste. Memorable. Would be an excellent everyday beer.

Clear yellow pour, looks like most any other pilsner out there, but with higher than average carbonation. Light malt on the nose, mixed with subtle hops aroma. Grassy flavor with big hops finish. A fine pilsner.

WHAT CAN YOU SAY! IT’S THE BEST. GOOD MOUTHFEEL. REFRESHING. A CLEAN INTERESTINGLY BITTER, HOPPY TASTE. CITRUSY SWEET CHEESEBREAD IN THE BACKROUND. THE VERY BEST CARBONATION YOU CAN FIND IN A BEER. DRINK IT IN THE SUMMER. VICTORY DOES EVERYTHING PERFECTLY.

Hazy yellow with moderate white head. Aroma of fresh straw, grass and a bit of perfume. Flavor starts with malt but yields to hops — grains with slight lemon and a slightly bitter aftertaste. Nicely carbonated. Overall, a well balanced, excellent pilsener with big flavor.

Let me preface this by saying that I’m by far the best beer reviewer on this site. I say this with neither malice nor hubris, but with love. Now, on with the show... Victory Prima Pils. Delivered in from Ohio via my brother from a diff mother. Aroma is jagged lemon hops, good-homegrown skunkweed, gorgeous, light as wafer. Pours golden delicious apple, thick in the glass with brief and bubbly head. Finestkind spidery lacings; I’m caught in its web, good god. Flavor: eternally hoppy, bright but quickly dead, bitter butter aftertaste, but too bitter (believe it or not), not enough butter. Thin side of thick on the palate. You know what that means; think! Why does it smell so-o-oooo much better than it tastes? Men’s Journal rated this North America’s best beer. North America’s best beer is ... is... I’ll keep you guessing, beastardo! Hint: this one ain’t it...
