On tap at Local 44.
I left my last final of the semester and walked home in the sweltering heat. By the time I got to my house my mouth was getting pretty dry. Instead of going home I went the extra block to local 44 in search of something to quench my insatiable thirst. I swung open the door only to find a completely empty bar, which I was half expecting as it was about 2 in the afternoon on a Tuesday. All that meant to me was that I got to enjoy Victory's great pils in peace while I talked to the bartender.
When the glass was placed in front of me I was impressed with nice airy, fluffy, white head that sat on top of a pale, hazy, straw yellow pint.
The smell was subtle but good. There were some nice floral hops and sweet fresh fruit aromas.
It tasted great. There was a pleasant malt sweetness followed by some moderate hops. There were citrus fruit flavors and lemon zest followed by a dry grassy finish with just a little touch of bitterness. The bitterness didn't linger and I would have to say this beer is a little more on the sweet side of things.
It had a good light body. It was clean, crisp and very refreshing. The perfect beer to forget about how hot it was outside.
Every part of this beer was perfectly balanced which made it unbelievably easy to drink.
I finished my finals, it was beautiful outside, and this beer made a great day even better. I wish it was available all the time.

On tap at Victory Brewing Company in Kennett Square, PA.
This one pours a light golden yellow, with orange tints, a tight white head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like bready malt, a nice level of grassy hops, and some light lemon.
This is a no frills and great hop accented lager. The hop character is great, lemon and grassiness, but I wish the malt character was a little deeper.
This is light bodied, very crisp, with a good level of carbonation.
One of the better American made pilsners for sure, but lacks the malt richness of the best German examples.

Served in 10 oz chalice glass
Appearance – Served a hazy yellow color with a large white head that faded fast. Upon fading a little lacing was left on the glass.
Smell – The smell is more citrus hop with a nice bit of wheaty bready aroma mixed with a pepper spicy aroma and an ever so lighter tropical fruit aroma.
Taste – The taste is a bit of sweeter wheat malt up front. The hop flavor really then starts to come into play. Very lemony citrus in nature with a bit of pine. There is a nice peppery flavor that comes more toward the end of the taste. The mix of the peppery lemon and wheat go on to take the brew to its taste finish and leave a rather crisp flavor on the tongue as an aftertaste.
Mouthfeel – The mouthfeel is on the medium to lighter side with a good level of carbonation. It is rather good for the style, but nothing of extraordinary greatness.
Overall – This was a refreshing brew that was very easy to drink. Good for a nice sunny warm day while sitting and lounging around outside.
