#84 Victory - Prima Pils

This is the second beer from Victory that I've ever drunk, as well as the second featured in this blog.  Loyal readers will remember Yakima Glory from late January.  It was a pretty good little pint.  This one I picked up bottled from Beer Revolution.
It's a German style Pils, clocking in at 5.3%ABV. 
Looks: It's bright, electric yellow.  I don't think I'v ever seen a beer quite this color.  It has a big bubbly white head with good lacing.
Smells: Hop aromas are floral and citrusy.
Tastes: Fairly crisp and tingly on the palate, with classic, sour yeasty lager notes.  Velvety mouthfeel with much more body than I'm used to in a pilsner.  

Overall, this beer is good.  But it was a bit too full bodied.  To me a pils should be light crisp and refreshing, characteristics which this one didn't really have.  A pretty good beer, maybe just a bit mis-labeled.
6 out of 10
