Commercial Description:

Clear yellow, white head. Hoppy crisp clean aroma. Crisp hoppy flavor with a decent malt backbone. Very easy drinking, full flavored, and enjoyable.

Fantastic pilsener! I might start to buy this instead of the hop devil when I need my hops from victory. Well done and very tasty. This beer is both big and specific/complex. I loved the crisp undertones to the hoppy aftertaste. Wow, great beer.

Enjoy by 11-21-05.It seems after doing some pilsner soul searching, I find that this pils reminds me way too much of a heady heineken or something.Tupper’s Hop Pocket Pils is king along with the Troegs Sunshine Pils.Don’t get me wrong now,I Love Victory! Just not my favorite pils~

Pours crisp, clean, and golden. Very light color with lots of carbonation. Head is fluffy, pure white, and leaves a good amount of lace as it quickly settles. Aroma is cool and hoppy with hints of malt. Somewhat typical fragrance for a lager but has a bit more cleanliness to it. The bottle I sampled expired back in April but I can’t really tell the difference. I guess I’ll have to find a fresher bottle somewhere and sample it to see if I am missing something. Flavor is sweet, hoppy, a bit fruity. Definitely not typical of the style. This is a clean crisp beer with good hops character and lots of malt complexity. After sampling a nice variety of beers I have decided that I am definitely an ale guy, but this is a lager that satisfies my palate. Overall, Prima Pils is a great session beer. I like it!

Bottle. Nice clear golden color with a thin white head. Hoppy aroma. Sweet malt flavor with a bite of hops at the end. Nice, smooth, sticks to your palate. A great Pils.

Large creamy white head, fully lasting with good lacing. Great clear yellow body. Crisp fresh aroma of slightly musty lemon, and pear. A little malt sweetness at the start and middle with some bitter lemon orange taste. Finishes with a dry bitterness. Texture is creamy and body is just right (not too light). I really liked the beer... nicely rounded taste made it enjoyable to drink.

pours a light golden yellow with decent carbination, smells of malts and hops as one would expect. taste is very good for a pilsner, better then the smell leads on, not usually a fan of this style but this is not a boring beer by far. loads of hops make a nice brew with some citrus flavors as well.

bottle from ucusty...BB 10/15/07. pale gold/straw colored with a wispy white head. light malt aroma with some yeast, alcohol, citrusy hops and aluminum sheeting. creamy mouth feel. flavor is all of the aforementioned. ’lager’ qualities w/o typical corn or skunk. leaves no unpleasant aftertaste. very clean, nice all around.
