Gold yellow pour with a creamy white head. Pretty strong aroma of citrus, grass, toast and hay. Nicely carbonated. Taste is very fresh and there is some faint lemon and floral notes. Very earthy beer with balancing malt and a crisp finish. Makes me want to get a pilsener glass. Great rendition of the style and mighty tasty.

Slightly hazy straw yellow pour. Fluffy head with some lace. Aroma was clean and hoppy. Hopped bitterness followed by soft malty caramel. Vegetable/herb or carotine flavours. Somewhat soapy. It was nice, but I would really like to try a fresh one. Mine was a couple of months past it's prime. Still very nice.

Bearing in mind that I generally do not care for Pilseners my fondness of this beer stands out. ...... Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a pale yellow color with crystal clarity and a medium sized head. There is a light flowery scent. The flavor is initially mild with a sweet flowery taste that seems to just swirl around the tongue and provide a brief sour/malty aftertaste. One of the best pilseners I have ever tasted - but not so much as to make me much of a drinker of this style.

Pours yellow with a moderate, fine white head. Aroma is kind of musty in a strange way. Mouth feel is moderate with a very excellent clean, hoppy flavor.

I drink this all the time, but never bothered to rate it before, inching my way to 100, I figure why not. Anyway it has a saaz aroma right off the bat and pours out a golden yellowish color with a big fluffy white head. It has a nice pilsner taste, not at all skunky like other main-stream pilsners. Nice and smooth, wonderful beer for any occasion.

A superior Pilsner which tastes like the perfect combination of hops and malt. Flavor is very full and smooth on the palate. Highly enjoyable.

Pours from the 12 oz. bottle like oh so many beers i’ve had before: golden yellow color, one finger head, fizzy, active carbonation...yada yada yada. The difference is in the aroma, though. As the head settles into a medium-heavy collar, an aroma like that of no other fizzy pale lager arises from the glass. Wait, that smells like hops! It IS hops, an abundance of ’em!! Citrusy (lemon) hops to be exact. Saaz? I think so. Ist sip has an initial hint of malt sweetness followed by those citrusy, slightly metallic hops. It’s a bold, powerful flavor that gets more intense on the swallow & lasts long after. There is active carbonation on the tongue and a medium-light, crisp finish. So THIS is what all those BMC pilsner wanna be imposters are supposed to taste like, huh? Man, the difference is like night & day!! Drinkable? Hell yeah...all day & well into the night!! Bravo to Victory Brewing !!! Tell the big boys in St. Louis & Milwaukee that THIS is what REAL beer should be like!!!
