3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 savnac (1365) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - OCT 15, 2009
12 oz bottle. Clear straw yellow with a pure white, long lasting, fluffy head and visible carbonation. Aroma is full of spicy hops and bready malt. The flavor has lots of hop bitterness with a good sweet malt balance. Light to medium body with highly active carbonation and a dry bitter finish. This is a very full flavored German Pilsener, it’s nice to see a lighter beer not sacrifice flavor.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20 DavidHawman (24) - Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 15, 2009
Opaque yellow with fluffy head that has plenty of lacing. First taste brings back memories of Munich. Hops are there, lemon notes make an appearance and has a clean bitter finish. Light but not watery mouthfeel, bit of a zing from the carbonation. Very enjoyable.

courtesy of Allen - At last, I have been able to put my hands and my nose on this old classic; slightly hazy golden-yellow colour; little white foam; dusty and very hoppy nose with notes of flowers, citrus, apple and grapefruit; good malt body and with a juicy palate, solidly bitter; quite dry and long bitter fruity and flowery finish - tasty and with a lot of character: a fantastic brew

Taster at Great Lost Bear - Poured a nice yellow amber in color with a bright white head. Aroma is of grassy hops with a hint of citrus. Flavor also strong in hops, but plenty of malts (caramel) backing them up. This is a very good Pils...

Has a clear light yellow body with a light white head.
A very impressive pour.
Close your eyes, you are in Europe.
Not Victory’s "attempt" at a Pils, but a genuine, high quality Pils.
Very nice.

Bottle. Pale yellow colour with medium white head. Aroma hoppy, grass, citrus.
Taste hoppy, , quite watery, good bitter finish, lacking some malt. A decent pilsener but lacking a lot of body and malt to be amongst the best.
