Tap at Trappeze, Athens GA
Pours golden, thick white head.
Aroma of pale malts, grainy some floral hops.
Taste, light, malty, light hops with faint citrus notes and bitter finish.
Came off a lot better than many other pilsener with a very forward earthly aspect that make is crisp and very fresh.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle best by May 2006 (rated in April 06). Pours a very lightly hazy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malts, honey, grains and some light hops. Flavor was dry and bitter. Also with some citrus, grains and grassiness. Really nice Pilsener (not a style I get too much out of but this was one was very solid).
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle pours a translucent light yellow. Minor milky head, good carbonation, decent lacing. Straw and light hops on the nose. Malty sweetness up front, gliding into a light hop palate, finishing with a clean, crisp, light, spicey, hop taste . A very good and easy drinking Pils. Thanks goes out to Pabobcat for the trade!
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle at The Rake, Southwark, London, shared with harrisoni. Pale gold with a hoppy aroma. A hint of tropical fruit in the taste and a strong bitter finish.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pale golden with a decent head. Grassy hop aroma with some herbal notes. Good hop bitterness throughout. As good as a pilsener as can be.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Light yellow. White head. Light flowery hop aroma. Mouth drying. Very high hop flavour. Like a double hopped Pilsener.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Emptied the bottle and it forms a white fluffy head with a luscious amber body. Slight hoppiness in the aroma and perhaps a hint of citrus. The aroma seems to remind me, for a second only, of Pilsner Urquell. The taste is very pleasant and much more smooth than than the afore mentioned beer. Definite sweetness on the tongue. The hops are present but not overwhelming and this is good for this type of beer. This is a great "refreshing" beer. I will plan on drinking this along with wheats this summer. Finishes very smooth as well with a lemony taste lingering but it is not annoying.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Nice, pleasant murky light golden pour with a generous head with decent lacing. Aroma is a mix of citrus cleaning solutions and Canada Dry Bitter Lemon. Tangy sweet flavor with zesty hoppiness and some sprucey undertones. Good rendition of a pilsener. Very dry finish. Overall impressed with Victory thus far.
