Victoria is a flavorful, easy-drinking Vienna-style lager beer, brewed with water, barley malt, non-malted cereals, and hops. It pours an amber color with a consistent, foamy tan head and gives off a pleasant aroma of malt and hops of the highest quality.
Once you get to experience its taste, you'll perceive a smooth, frothy, light-to-medium body, offering flavors of toasted malt, tangy apple butter, and star fruit. The slight malt sweetness is perfectly balanced by its crisp finish, making it a perfect choice to enjoy with grilled meats and vegetables, mild or hard-aged cheeses, nuts, and Mexican foods.

Haven't had this in a long time - not really certain what a Mexican beer should taste like, but it's cold, crisp, has a corn flavor and wasn't skunked. From a bottle. Good day.

Look: Clear dark orange with a medium white head that has ok retention. Absolutely no lacing.
Smell: Not much. Just light malt.
Taste: Piss poor. Burnt malt that leans towards the sweet side gives way to bath water.
Feel: Nearly just as awful as the taste. Medium in the mouth and watery.
Overall: Normally low-quality beers like this one at least go down easy but this one is almost a chore. I’ve had two of these disgusting things so far and will have one more tomorrow. I’ll give the rest away. Even a macro drinker who I passed some of these off to reported back to me and said these were horrible and “like water”. Again, that was coming from a guy who normally guzzles shitty beers. I would never in a million years recommend this beer.

Attractive clear amber appearance with a large, fast fading white head. Subtly sweet aroma mutes a stronger hop footprint. Decent taste, though. Hops arrive a bit late but provide a light floral touch. Bready malts add balance. Light-to-medium bodied mouthfeel along with good carbonation. Overall, not bad at all. Maybe not worth standing in line for unless the price is consumer friendly, but not bad.

Victoria is an overall average Mexican style lager. The deep copper brown is beautiful combined with the light and white foam head, albeit very subtle. In just seconds, it dissipates into a fine ring around the edge. Its smell is quite shallow, only giving hints of salt and malt(barely). It feels great in the mouth, coming off heavier than anticipated. Overall, it’s an okay beer, great for relaxing after a long day. While it doesn’t excel in any particular category, it certainly doesn’t let you down either. Pretty good!

6/28/24 - (Bottle - Home) (Chicago, IL) - Bottle Notes: Purchased refrigerated from Shop and Save on 6/27/24 for $4.87. Refrigerated through opening this evening. 32 oz bottled at 16:12 with a best by December 2024 date, and a code D304C109 which I am not certain of the meaning. 4.0% ABV, 135 Calories, 13.2 G Carbohydrates, 1.0 G Protein, 0.0 G Fat per 12 ounces. Brewed and Bottled by Cerveceria Modelo, Nava Mexico. Imported by Crown Imports, Chicago, Illinois.
Appearance: Crystal clear bronze caramel base, steady persistent carbonation for the first 12 oz plus top off into a slightly over 1 pint pilsner glass. White bubbly head lingers for a hot minute before receding to a small ring around the glass and the snow is almost all melted cover over the base. Looks good. 3.75
Aroma: Faint to barely there malted barley aroma, hard to get anything else after a few attempts. 2.5
Taste: Slightly stronger taste, light and easy barley malt flavor. Sweet like a European malty beer, but no noticeable associated flavor. Lightly salty starting several ounces in, and increases as I work through the rest of the first half. 2.75
Mouthfeel: Light and easy, carbonation seen more than felt, faint pillow/prickly blend. Body watery perceived creamy, perhaps sweetness creating that sensation. East drinking, drinks perhaps a bit over the low 4.0% ABV. Light malt finish with a touch of corn. 3.25
Overall: This is an OK beer, down the middle light offering. Something a non craft drinker would likely enjoy, and a craft beer drinker can enjoy. Would pair with food to perhaps draw out more flavor. 3.0
