bottle - Pours slightly hazy light gold with a one finger white head. The aroma is of floral hops and some bready malt. The flavor has that bready malt taking a backseat to the dry floral and grassy tasting hops. This light bodied brew is a pretty good session brew. I’m not convinced that rating it higher than the classic Pilsner Urqell is justified though, so I won’t.

Wow, not what I expected at all, I mean I had high expectations since it is Victory, but really really tasty. A nicely hoppy Pilsener, that is nicely balanced and slightly complex. A really sweet pilsener, that I higly recommend.

Pours golden transparent with a robust frothy white head. Aroma is of citrus and yeast. Start is very bitter which smooths and then finished with a bitter aftertaste. Average. A disappointment from Victory.

The beer pours a hazy yellow color with a white head. The aroma is heavy on the pilsner malt with some grassy hops and bready malt mixed in. Overall, it smells like a classic pilsner. The flavor is heavy on the pilsner malt with some saaz hops mixed in. Tastes like exactly what you expect a pilsner to taste like. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Update June ’05 on draft: This beer was far superior on draft than in a bottle and was somewhat enjoyable after a summer outing. The grassiness was much toned down on draft and the overall flavor was crisp and refreshing. The bottle version I had in fall of ’04 was much less impressive and watery tasting (grassy too).
