4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
12oz in mug. Hazy pale yellow with delicate, dissipating head. Lively, herbaceous, lime aroma. Crisp, mouthwatering hops over a backdrop of a hint of grainy. Finish has a bit of sticky lupulin, but that’s likely unavoidable at this bitterness and level of aroma.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
I was not expecting this to be as good as it was. Pours a dark gold with a nice white head. Aroma of grass, apple, lemon and a little resiny as well. Taste is sweet with a clean finish, much more hoppy then I expected. Hit the spot perfectly on such a hot day.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours hazy yellow, small white head. Slight aromas of pale malt, strong citrusy hops. Hops are really the hard hitter here; they’re resiny and piney, bit of grapefruit. Also a bit of bread. Like a Czech pils with American hops, and thrice the quantity thereof. Very good pils.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
I do not really like this style but I have to say of that style this is one of the best, Big hoppy mild pine citrus. Like a watered down big IPA.
Not bad for what it is.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Slightly hazy pale golden body with a thin white head that leaves some spotty lacing. Citrus, light hops, and a hint of malt make up the nice aroma. The brew starts smooth and silky and finishes with a punch of carbonation. Sugared grapefruit and light malty sweetness meld nicely to a slightly bitter finish. A great beer that is extremely easy to drink!

This kind of changes my perception of what a pils can be. Wonderful floral hops in the nose are backed up by a nice malty backbone. Nice beer.

I hate to give a pils a 4, but this one was good. Strong hops and a crisp flavor are great. I think this is what sam adams was going for with their noble pils.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
A light cereal aroma. Surprisingly flavorful and malty for the style. Plenty of Central European hops, some sweetness, a bit of grapefruit and grape. This is a top grade pilsener! I can see why it is the highest ranking widely available pilsener. Cheers to Victory for this one.
