3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a clear golden color with a two-finger white head and some spotty lacing on the way down. Thin white cap throughout. The nose brings a bit of light citrus hops and a slight floral character. Light grain is there as well. Flavor is slightly bready and grainy with some slight hop flavor. Body is light and crisp with good carbonation and a light bitterness to the finish. Well done.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Wonderful warm weather beer. Pours a beautiful clear gold. Crisp hop notes of grapefruit and pine, but light enough to not overpower. Light, but very flavorful and crisp. Highly recommended.

Bottle. Aroma of biscuit, toast, fruity hops, hint of caramel sweetness. Pours pale straw golden, some white head, short retention. Taste: surprisingly dry, crisp bitter finish, a lot of toasted grains in this. Also has a pilneresque quality about it. Light body, lively carbonation, creamy texture. Overall: doesn't really do anything for me, but doesn't feel flawed either.

A- Pours out a very clear golden lager color, deeper-gold with lots and lots of bubbles in a somewhat frothy, sticky head.
S - Wow this is one of the most grapefruit forward beers I've ever had. I mean literally smells like fresh grapefruit when you cut it in half and are about to eat it. Also smelling some grassy hops as well as some bready malts.
T- Taste is rather complex mix of citrus grapefruit and some grassy herbal hops. Also some sweet malt in there, very lager like.
P- The pallet is rather full but not overly rich making this pretty sessionalable and drinkable on a hot day. Bubbly, crisp and refreshing.
O-Overall I'm not unfamiliar with this beer nor any of victories offerings. I had this beer last summer yet this year's version seems a little better, tweaked to be a little more hoppy. I'll definitely be buying much more this stuff as the weather warms up. What I like about it is it isn't hollowed out in the middle like a lot of newer, hoppy sessionable summer beers which are becoming fashionable.

$11.99 for a six pack in DC.
A great mixture of a blonde ale with European hops. Great taste with a fantastic kick of semi-bitter hops at the end. Very crisp and drinkable, especially in the heat.

Pours a bright orange. Floral and citrus aromas, however not as citrus forward as last year. Somewhat earthy and a little watered down. Great sessionable summer beer
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Sampled at Fort Worth Untapped. Poured a boring pale yellow color with little to no white head. Resin, grass, floral, and spruce. Fizzy on the palate. Way overhopped for this style
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Eastlake Henry’s: Poured a glowing white tinted yellow hue liquid with a thin layer of film for a head. Smell is your typical grassy and grained wheat summer ale style. The drink is the same as the aroma but has a much heavier palate and a much more flavorful of grassy grains and a squeeze of citrus. Certainly one of the best summer ales I ever taste, and sort of reminds of a kolsch style of beer.
