Victory Summer Love Ale

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 6 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

This is the blonde ale to end all blonde ales, or so Victory would want you to believe. It’s refreshing is the best way to describe it. A clear straw gold pour with a huge rocky white cap that doesn’t stay for long. Cereal, citrus, and spices dominate the nose. The mouthfeel is average. The flavor is more malt forward than the aroma would indicate. The hoppy finish is mild at best, but the sweet grains are definitely present.

Pilsner nose lots of grass and a whiff of citrus. Light gold body with intense effervesce toped with rocky white head leaves decent lace. Medium bodied and tingly in the mouth, just a bit creamy. Not a fan of the flavor profile. Getting some overpowering medicinal taste in the middle and a bit of it in the aftertaste. There is some sour in there also not pleasurable, pouring this one out.

Pours straw gold with a slight haze and a thin white foam collar. The aroma has a real fresh cut grass to wet hay aroma with some graham cracker and light fruit. The taste is very crisp with a big fresh light malt palate. Spicy, herbals with some caramel and light biscuit to light cracker in the background and then it presents some tropical fruit with some melon. The mouthfeel is refreshing, above carbonation and medium light body.

Comes out of the bottle a clear straw yellow with a typical white head - not inspiring, but never judge a book by its cover! Strong aroma is malty with a yeasty undertone and hints of citrus and hops. Sunny flavor has a malty core and a strong, slightly sour citrus note, as well as hints of hops and apple. Average-bodied texture has a nice tingle to it. Great for summer, or saying goodbye to the bloomin’ hot weather.

Pours out a dark yellow with a whit head that disasters quickly. The aroma is of citrus and hops. The mouthfeel is just a little thin. The taste is of mild hops and lemon with a note of malt.

First beer of the day @ Hootenanny 4. Saying goodbye to a lingering summer, hello to fall. Shared with PfoxyJohn and sam. Light yellow straw pour, bubbly white head, some lacing. Grassy, floral, zesty nose and taste, light and easy but still flavorful. Very light earthy linger. Great warm weather refresher.

More pilsnerish to me than I was expecting. Nice floral crisp hop presence and light grainy sweet malt for balance. Refreshing and tasty though not a standout.

Purchased in NY City. Pour a golden colour with a head that stay long and creates a coat over the brew. Grapefruit and orange aromas. Kind of a creamy mouthfeel. Grainy taste with the hop being strong, but well-balanced. Quite a nice beer that is a mix of a IPA and blonde ale.

Nice dry blonde with a snappy hop bite. Clear gold color with a huge white head and thick lacing. Grassy with biscuits and a floral hop bitterness. A touch off balance and light bodied. Good summer throw down.
