This stuff is great. Sharp, crisp, and hoppy. Probably the best pilsner not actually from the Czech Republic.

UPDATED: DEC 12, 2007 Well this is the best American made Pilsner style beer that I’ve ever had. Good crisp lager taste and more hops than Bohemian Pilsners. They load the hopback with whole hops to get the remarkable aroma. If you like Pilsners and you like hops, you owe it to yourself to look for this beauty.

A good full pils, excites the taste buds and stays with you in just the right way.

UPDATED: MAY 8, 2011 Poured a clear golden color with a small tight white head. Hoppy earthy aroma, including hints of lemon as well. Smooth hops balanced nicely by malt, very refreshing.

Pours a beautiful, brilliantly clear dark gold, with a pure white head of dense foam that remains a small cap on the beer throughout the glass. Aroma is hugely hoppy, with notes of green grass, some apple, and hints of alcohol. On subsequent sniffs, malt sneaks in as an afterthought. Flavor is hoppy upfront, with lots of noble character, backed by a significant malt backbone and a nice medium body to support the strength of the flavor profile. Overall, this is a very clean lager, with a nice clean tail, emphasizing noble hops throughout, but with a significant malt background. Did I mention all the hops?

Wow what a pilsener! Huge hoppy aromas, earthy/grassy. Clear Golden in color with a large white mostly lasting head. Very bitter hop flavor with a very crisp and clean finish. One of the best pilseners out there.

WOW WOW WOW.... When every brewery is creating the over-the top-hop/alcohol-monster-uber-bohemian pilsner which has recently become en vogue, Victory is churning out an exceptionally well balanced retort. Pours crystal clear straw and absolutely stinks of noble hops (stinks is a good thing here). A nice bitterness whcih paired with the efervescent qualities of the beer becomes almost caustic but is quickely chased away by the floral and spicier notes of the hops. However, the malt is enough to keep ones feet firmly grounded. Full but CRISP on the palate (Something that should be pointed out is frequently lost on the bigger takes on this style). All in all a fantastic effort.
