COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Filtered.
Ingredients: 2 row German pale malt; Czech Saaz, German Northern Brewer hops.
Heaps o’ hops are hiding under the full, frothy head of this elegant Pils. All German malt subtleties linger beneath a long dry finish of this classy quencher.

Proper Pilsner. Malt and Hops throughout. If Victory made a Imperial Pilnser and I would be hooked.

Fresher taps are highly recommeded, and a bit different than botles. Fresh taps lack the intense floral aroma, but cater to a wider audience as a result. Very crisp flavor, a hoppier, very American rendition of a European classic style. Head is full but light out of the bottle, for a pilsner the aroma will knock you out. New York Times rated this a top pils in a global test.

On draught at restaurant. Clear gold colour with large white head, looks like a pilsner as drawn by an artist. Herbal nose. Malty flavour with full taste. Fine finish long and dry. This is a wonderful pilsner. I loved it.

The beer-snob’s pilsener... This is, without a doubt, the best pils I’ve ever had. It’s only technical flaw is that it doesn’t follow the normal hopping rate of a true pilsener (true to style pilseners are usually slightly hoppier than normal lagers... This brew, however, pushes beyond the limits of normal pilsener hopping levels and actually has a an IBU level that could compete with a pale ale). That being said... I don’t care, it’s still the best pils I’ve ever had. Perfect color, as much malt & hop flavor as you can get from a pils, and completely refreshing. Another great job from Victory!

a ornagish yelloish hazy color. very hoppy aroma. I have died and gone to heaven. this beer has the perfect balance of huge hops and enough maltyness to balance it. there is an amazing crispness, and refreshment. a must try.

Wow. This is the best pilsener from a domestic brewer that I’ve found after years of looking. A really crisp, snappy beer in the finest Czech style. This is really good stuff.

Brings back memories of my visit to Germany. This beer is a very good representation of a true German pils. Very fresh Spalt and sazz flavor. Yellow straw color and a nice brussels lace. If you are looking for a stronger hop profile with these hops try HOP IT by Urthel or Golden Promise by DogFish Head (Formerly Golden Showers)

India Pale Pils? Hoppier than Hop devil but tonnes of sazzy goodness. Crisp and refreshing. Victory at it’s finest.
