5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20Bottle. Hazy straw yellow pour, white bubbly head. Aroma of crisp grassy hops, faint bit of must in the malt, citrus rind/light fruit. Flavors of dry malt with a decent bit of grapefruit/citrus rind come into play, a slight earthiness/must is apparent as well. Light bubbly body, crisp/bitter/malty throughout with a dry lingering bitter finish. Overall, this is one of my top three session beers: it’s bright and crisp and overall just a very satisfying brew that I drink regularly all year round. This coupled with a very fair price point makes it a hard beer to beat. Most definitely my favorite summer brew as well as my favorite pilsener. I don’t see what there is to not love about this beer.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured from a bottle into a pilsner glass. Clear bright gold with a hearty white head that has a decent amount of lacing. Aroma is really malty, nutty, and a bit of straw. Taste is malty sweet balanced out by a sharp hop bitterness that sticks around. Simple and to the point. Would pair great with some pretzels.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle at Sybarite Pig. Tulip. Pours a dark yellow nearly gold with light haze. One finger white head. Smell of citrus, grass, and alfalfa. Taste is grass, citrus lemon, slight sour yeasts and bitter hops. Balance is decent tipping toward almost too bitter for the style. But good overall.

2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20
Good light hoppy aroma. Clear yellow pour with medium white head. Taste is a little more bitter than I’d like for a pilsner. Good (light) mouthfeel for the style.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Metropolitan Diner in North Wales, PA. Did not expect this beer to be as hoppy as it was, and now I regret overlooking it over and over again. Very drinkable.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pale yellow with light carbination. White foam head. Flowery hop aroma with a bready malt aroma. Taste is well balanced with the flowery hops and malt. Crisp, bitter finish. A very good example of a German pils.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Faint scents of malt, pine cone and green car air freshener. Appearance is lackluster.. weak urine color with hardly any carbonation. Beer is quite hoppy, especially for a Pils. Bitter, but a little flat. It’s not bad.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Victory Prima Pils has a thick, off-white head and a hazy, brilliant, yellow appearance (like a glow stick), with a bit of lacing and lots of bubble streams. The aroma is of sweet, lemony malt, some sweetness, and an off, wall paper glue scent. Taste is the same, with lots of bitterness and that unpleasant glue note. I’m also picking up aspirin. Mouthfeel is medium, and Victory Prima Pils finishes mostly dry, citrusy, and off-kilter. Maybe I got some of a bad batch, but I can only say that it is acceptably good, and that’s being generous. Well, one can’t say it’s not interesting. RJT
