Victory Prima Pils

12 oz. Bottle

Pours a golden yellow with a bit of white head, a thin lacing of it, and very visible carbonation. The beer appears a little cloudy as well. Fresh cut grass and wheat, hops, and a bit of lemony citrus on the nose, very nice for a pils. On first sip you get a bit of lemon and grapefruit and a good amount of hop - this creates an intensely refreshing dry finish, though the hops overwhelm the delicateness of the other flavors a bit at the end. There's a bit of sweetness in there as well, I almost wish this sweetness was a little more profound within the taste, there's a bit of a balance issue there. Medium high carbonation and zero alcohol presence in this 5.3% ABV pils.

I think that the best thing I could say about this beer is that its a very easy drink, and very refreshing. My biggest issue with this Pils is that the balance seems to be off - it there was a bit more sweetness and the hop wasn't so overwhelming in the finish, I think this would be up there as one of my favorite pils.

A decent beer, but not my favorite pils. Will definitely give this one a shot again during the summer.

Overall Rating: 3.5/5
