Victory Prima Pils - Check out those hops!


Victory Brewing Company is a producer of quality beer. You want hops? With Victory Prima Pils you got it. Ingredient information about this beer is provided by the Victory website; http://www.victorybeer.com/prima_pils.aspx. The ABV for Prima Pils is 5.30%. When the website states "Heaps of hops" are used in this pilsner, they are not lying. For those of you that homebrew, this beer has an aroma of hops right when you add the hops to the boil. The very fresh hops aroma hits you in the face, in a good way. White is the color for the head of this beer and the carbonation is medium to high. There is a bold hop taste and it is a very fresh hop flavor. That is the German and Czech hops standing out. I can also detect a slight fruit flavor, maybe citrus? Prima Pils is somewhat bitter. When added all together, this beer comes together very well. I again have to stress the fresh, hop flavor. Victory really did a good job creating this beer. The hops and flavors mesh very nicely. Try one for yourself, and buy one for a friend. I grade this beer an A. Cheers!

Victory Hop Wallop - Hello Hops!



To start with, the Victory website (http://www.victorybeer.com/) gives a little information about the ingredients for this beer. German Malt and American hops go into this hoppy brew. The ABV for this beverage is 8.50%. To begin with, the color of this drink is yellowish. The color of the head when poured into a glass is white. When smelling this beer the first thing to come to mind is pine. A very fresh, flowery aroma is experienced. There may be a small citrus odor as well. So on to the drinking part. Hello hops! The hop taste is at the forefront of the flavor. Actually the hop wallop lasts from beginning to end of the drink. And it is a very nice crisp and clean taste. There is nothing added to clutter your drinking experience. This beer is simple, (this does not detract anything from the beer) it gives you what you came for; hops. Hop Wallop doesn't lead you astray from its goal. It takes you directly to the hops. Do not pass go, go directly to hops. Better yet, it is not over hopped. The hops cover the alcohol fairly well in this brew. This beer says to me, "You want a good hoppy beer? I'm the one". I grade this beer an A-. Buy one for a friend, but buy a few for yourself.

Victory Whirlwind Witbier - This beer is a winner



This is an interesting beer. Although the name of the beer is not exotic, you really should give this beer a try. Brewed by Victory Brewing Company ( http://www.victorybeer.com/ ), this beer is very enjoyable. The website gives some information about the beer, including ingredients. The ABV for Whirlwind Witbier is 5.0%. The beer has a nice sweet fruit smell. When pouring this beer, you will notice the head quickly disappears. The color is light yellow. My first impression is that of a light, sweet fruit taste, with citrus and spice. The carbonation is light, making this a very smooth beer. This beer is not complex, but that does not take anything away from it. The flavors come together in a very good way. Other witbiers should take note, this is how a witbier should taste. Would I buy and drink a few of these? Oh yeah. Victory Whirlwind Witbier is good summertime beer. I grade this beer an A-.
