Victory Prima Pils

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

Bottled. Overall a really good pilsner. Pours light yellow with small head and large bubbles. Smells of lemon and grass and hops. The taste is a great mix of citrus of hops which goes down smooth yet fulfilling.

Rich, golden body with a respectable, white, lacing head. Assertive hop aroma, and that gives you an idea of what to expect in the flavor department. This Pilsener is aggressively hopped, yet Victory added enough malt to keep everything in check. Actually, this is one of the few Pilseners that go very well with the winter months; yes, I think it’s that bold. Anyway, the carbonation level is nearly perfect, and the overall mouthfeel is quite satisfying. This truly is a very fine beer, and I will definitely purchase it again in the near future.

Draught. Very clear yellow with a nice white head. Nice grassy hop, flowery. Clean palate, very dry with an assertive lingering bitter end.

Victory Prima Pils is a sparkling, intense and clear light golden lager with a slowly dissipating small white head. The lacing is thick and persistent. The aroma is fruity, soft and wooden. There is a faint bright citrus note. Light grain provides the backdrop for these noble players. It is tender to the tounge when wet, but leaves a chalky feel. It has a nice, filling medium body. The hops burst onto the scene here, fruity and wooden. It is a loud and bright flavor that persists with the rumble of peppry alcohol and bitter juniper. Wow! A light lager can be unoffensive... and wonderful! Par for the course for Victory.

I have to concur with my colleagues. Citrus flavor and hop bitterness made this one of the most refreshing beers I’ve had.

355 ml. Crystal clear, pale golden with a medium sized, lasting head. Aroma is spicy honey, cereal grain, and grass. Flavor is honey on the front, slowly bittering to a grassy, lemon-herb, and very hoppy (for a pilsener) finish. Smooth body is thicker than most pils; maybe almost medium. Has all the same characteristic flavors of an industrial American pilsener, but the smooth body and taste of quality ingredients comes through anyway. This pilsener is to a BMC as a cheeseburger at your local grill is to a McDonalds.

Bottle: light gold yellow color, nice white head. Bready and floral hop aoma. Flavor is light and crisp with a nice light hoppy bitterness and floral slightly spicy and citrusy hop flavor finish that is nice and crisp. Extremely drinkable, especially on a sunny day.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden color with a small white head that stays. The aroma is typical pilsener nothing too much here but the taste is very good with citrus and a hoppy flavor. A great session beer.
