COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Filtered.
Ingredients: 2 row German pale malt; Czech Saaz, German Northern Brewer hops.
Heaps o’ hops are hiding under the full, frothy head of this elegant Pils. All German malt subtleties linger beneath a long dry finish of this classy quencher.
One of Michael Jackson’s 500 Classic Brews

Pours a golden, some nice hop flavors, very citrus and grapefruit. Crisp and clean, little off flavors, a very hoppy Pilsner but well done.

On tap at the local option; pour is medium slightly golden with an odd modest creamy head with nice retention. Lights floras and grains on the nose. Flavors are quite impressive and were different from my expectations. The hops are bigger than I would have dreamed and there seems to be a juicy citrus note as well. Soapiness comes across very mildly, and there is also a cereal grain element as well. It finishes slightly earthy, bitter, just excellent

this is as good a beer as you can get everywhere in a six pack. floral hops dominate at the beginning, followed by the more subtle pilsner flavors.

Pours a light blonde with a little head on tap at Hackneys. Almost no aroma but a bitter flavor.

Floral, grass and slight citrus hop aroma with just a touch of German malt poking through. Same with a taste, including a finish that’s more bitter than any pilsner I have had. A good beer, but more of a west coast style pale/pilsner hybrid or I would have score it higher.

Not a traditional Pilsner. Thats what the label should read. Drank from a bottle. Maybe I got a bad 6 pack. The aroma was citrus. The palate starts off light fruity malt but ends with pretty strong hoppy bitterness. More like an IPA with that assertive hop finish. Not a bad beer, but just not a pils in my opinion. I feel like the way this beer was described on the packaging was misleading.

This is absolutely one of my favorite beers. Well done Victory! The color is golden with a touch of haze with a thick white head. The nose is slightly floral with some grass. The taste is incredible! Crisp, clean, medium hops, refreshing, great on a summer day or any day for that matter. A must try for all.

I am not a pilsner guy, so I apologize for the downgrade of a pretty solid beer. Beer pours clear, medium gold colored with a small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing head. The aroma is surprisingly malty with moderate notes of slightly husky toasted grain, toasted bread; Hoppy with moderate notes of resin/pine. The flavor is lightly sweet, moderate bitterness that grows heavy, finish is shorter—lightly bitter, lightly acidic. Nets out a touch watery. The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.
