4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20 Beer Snob (457) - Ontario, CANADA - OCT 1, 2009
I am convinced that Victory is incapable of making anything less than excellent beer.
Pours a pure golden colour and smells hoppy, fresh and very slightly citriussy.
Taste is sharp - hops and some malt and even a small herbal component. What remains is a nice, mild hoppiness that destroys thirst without overpowering the taste buds. And man, does it ever go down easily.
I really hope that this becomes an LCBO regular.

Draft. Pours hazy golden, with a creamy, thick white head. Aroma of hops, juniper, clove, and hints of malt. Medium bodied with a sturdy, crisp finish. Carbonation is well balanced with the hops. Excellent pilsner from Victory.

3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 madvike (1298) - Middleton, Wisconsin, USA - SEP 28, 2009
Bottle - Pours clear yellow with a big frothy white head. Smells of soap, sweet malt, barley, light melon--it’s just crisp and clean. Taste is sweet but not overpowering. There’s smooth and slightly bitter malt with perfumy and floral notes. Tingling hops dance on the finish, but there’s just too much carbonation. Put a bottle of this in a mix-six, but will definitly grab a 6 when I need something easy to drink.

Bottle - 355ml. Hazy blond body with a lasting white foamy head. Fresh, complex hoppy aroma with flowery, herbal, coriander and honeyish hints. Its sharp hoppy taste carries citrusy, malty, and coriander notes. It ends with a long, robust, dry bitter/herbal finish. Awesome!
