Pours clear yellow with a small porous head. Aroma of lemon, grapefruit, hops, and malt sweetness -- the aroma is mild, but very well balanced. The flavour begins malty. Fruity, caramel malts transform into hops. Again, the balance is great. Dry, slightly bitter finish. I’m appreciating the presence of /hops/ in this pilsner.

Jul 17, 2008 12 oz. Bottle. Classic golden yellow in color with a quickly dissipating white head. Nose is full of the Noble hop varieties with a bit of a spicy aroma. The flavor has a sharp bitterness and a bit of a grassy hop taste. The malt is present, but subtle with a mild sweetness that takes the edge off the hops. Body is about right for a pils, maybe a little thin behind all the hops. Finish is crisp with a lasting dry bite. Not my favorite style of beer, but it works great for Virginia during the muggy months of summer.

Jul 14, 2008 Well folks, I won’t call it heaps of hops but they are there. Bottle pours a nice yellow gold with asticky lacing and a quickly diminishing head. Body is malts covered by hops but not by much. Refreshing and hoppy. Easy drinking. A solid product from Victory.

Jul 13, 2008 hops. Some hops. Some more hops. I was impressed with the amount of flavor in this for a pils, but the rest I found lacking at the time. Early rating so will have to re-rate.

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle. I haven’t had too much experience with high quality lagers, but I’ve been looking for more pilsners to try. I really enjoy this pilsner. A nice, golden lager with a hoppy lagerish flavor and a crisp finish. A nice session beer that almost anyone can appreciate.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle and I feel like I’m repeating myself but its once again impressive. Malt is balanced very well with hops on the nose. Very short sweetness followed by a long bitterness. Very smooth and drinkable. This brewery consistently rises on my list.
