look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25

.5 liter pour in a pils glass at the brewery.

A- Crystal clear golden, with a one finger white head. Lots of lacing, and the head retains well.

S- Light sweet malt with citrus notes. A little biscuity.

T- Small roast/sweet malt flavor with a mild grassy/earthy hop balance.

M- Light, clean, and the classic Pils bitterness hangs around at the end.

O- Very flavorful and clean. Will be great in the summer. This beer makes me really excited for the craft Pils scene, which I haven't really explored a lot. Victory is doing some good things, and I'm glad I live nearby to experience it.

Serving type: on-tap

12oz bottles served in DFH "shaped" pint glass.

A: Bright and mostly clear. Straw colored. Fluffy white head is sizable due to aggressive pour. Head dissipates rather quickly. Lacing present and a small ring of foam hangs around for a while.

S: Cracker-like malt and green, grassy hops. Mild citrus. Suggestion of mint.

T: Exactly what you'd expect given the aroma. Fresh baked bread. Herbaceous hops. All in all it's very crisp and rather quenching. Peppery in the finish.

M: Light bodied. Feel is smooth and slick. Maybe a little less spritzy than it's German counterparts.

O: This has always been one of my favorite pilsners. A little hoppier than more traditional examples, which is what makes it so tasty. This is a staple in my fridge during the summer months and a go to anytime I'm craving a nice solid pils.
