Victory Lager

Brewery: Victory Brewing Company
Style: Lager
ABV: 5.2%
Country: USA, Pennsylvania

First brew from the nice eight pack mix I got for Christmas. Second beer from Victory to make the list, first being the Prima Pils.

This poured a pale golden yellow. Body is crystal clear with few bubbles to see. Head is thin and white, about half a finger, and dissipates quickly.

The aroma is faint but pleasing. Some grains typically found in lagers along with a bit of lemon

Good clean taste, light body but a bit thicker than a standard macro lager or pils. Light carbonation. Light bitter grain flavor, finished sweet and flowery with a hint of citrus. Quite refreshing. B

Victory Prima Pils

I grabbed this bottle at the always amazing Total Wine. Seriously, I'm like a kid in a candy store there. It takes me for ever to make up my mind among the awesome choices.

Anyhow, I poured this one into my ever handy pint glass. It pours a bright, sunny yellow. Head was about a finger thick that settled into a nice, lingering lace.

The aroma was mild and grainy with a hint of citrus.

Flavor is sweet and malty with a medium body. This wasn't overly carbonated allowing it to be easily swirled around the mouth. There are more bitter than floral hops but the citrus scent shines through along with a hint of spice near the end. Aftertaste is crisp with a dry and bitter finish that is well balanced with the sweet malts and more grain flavor. Overall this is a good, drinkable beer even though I usually prefer something with more flavor. There is certainly more bitterness than is usually found in a pilsner. I could certainly put a few of these back in one sitting.

I'll give this one a nice and solid B+
