Name – Prima Pils
Country – United States
Type – German Pilsner

Appearance – Poured a clear bubbly golden color with a big bubbly white head.

Smell – Woah, there are hops here!  You hear that everyone?  There are hops in a pilsner!  They are combined with a grainy and malty smell as well.

Taste – Earthy hops, grains, bread like malt backing, some spices.  Very crisp and clean.

This was my first taste of Victory since they just arrived down here in South Florida from Downingtown, PA, just a mere hour from where I grew up.  And all I can really say about Prima Pils is this is a pilsner, plain and simple.  It has full flavor and smell unlike your macro pils.  Very refreshing and easy to drink without having to be watered down.  Hands down the best pilsner I’ve ever had.

Overall Grade – A

Name – Stoudt’s Pils
Country – United States
Type – German Pilsner

Appearance – Pours a clear straw yellow color with decent sized white head that went away pretty quick.

Smell – Crisp grainy smell up front with some grassy hop notes as well.

Taste – Pretty dead on with the smell.  Very smooth and crisp grainy taste and slight bittering hoppy taste in there as well.  Finishes clean.

A very straight forward and good pils right here.  Nothing fancy to it and something I could enjoy on a hot day by the pool that I do not have.  But if I did I would probably be drinking this.

Overall Grade – B+

Name – O.K. Beer
Country – Poland
Type – Euro Pale Lager

Appearance – Pours a very clear with straw color to it.  Nice sized white head that stuck around surprisingly for quite awhile.

Smell – Grains and some subtle hops.  I pick up a slight lemon sweetness.

Taste – Mostly grainy malt flavors that is very crisp.  Again some subtle hops can be picked up.  Goes down smooth.

I had to try a beer from the country of heritage of one side of my family so I picked this one up.  I expected a typical Euro style pils but got a little more than I bargained for.  The head retention was amazing for the style as you typically see heads fade away after a few seconds.  Very crisp and smooth that isn’t all watered down.  Hey AB, this is closer to drinkability than anything you have.

Overall Grade – B
