Jul 31, 2009 Bottle. BBD 02/02/10 so "old"(although batch number is 202) . Amber pour with almost cascading head, lasting white foam remains for a minute or two then totally disappears. Aroma is quite malty from a double IPA with a slight hop presence. Flavor follows unexpected aroma with mostly malt characteristics. Not a big fan.

Jul 26, 2009 Bottle. Really thin head but holds a white ring. Dark amber. Sour malt and alcohol aroma. No carbonation. More like a still BW. A trace on the syrupy side. Hoppy but tame. High alcohol. No life or pizzazz. Really makes you think about the meaning of life when a beer doesn’t measure up to expectations. Good thing that I have one Victory Hop Devil left1

Jul 25, 2009 From a cask at Pub Naples, Naples, Florida. Copper orange, thin white head. Nice smoky, bitter citrusy aroma. Very hoppy up front, with an earthy, smoky background. Clean hop bite, but a long aftertaste. Very tasty stuff.

Jul 25, 2009 Think this is old batch but date in the description is unclear. Strongly hopped nose with citrus and fresh grass. Pours medium-pale copper with a bathtub suds ring rather than a head. Flavour is potently hoppy with a slight citric sweetness (lemonadey) that quickly gives way to a long and intensely bitter finish reminiscent of one of those herbal italian digestifs such as Fenet Brahca. Very nice indeed, and if this is the old batch I will look forward to trying the new one.

Malt and hop aromas. Small white head. Golden coloured strong in alcohol hoppy and slightly pale with some dryness in a crisp and bitter lasting malt finish.

Jul 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours IPA-amber with a green cast. Off-white thin head, poor lacing, little retention. Nose is a good mix of citrus and pine, balanced but unremarkable. Flavour is much like nose, quite sweet, with nice but unremarkable hop character. I think I would have scored this higher if it was a standard IPA rather than a double. I somehow expected more from this though it was by no means as bland and soapy as the Punk, nor was it as interesting as the Storm. Okay.

Jul 23, 2009 A pretty tasty aroma-citrusy and flowery. The flavor on this is quite dry, but a tasty dry and some citrus. Great finish. I believe this was the new version.

Jul 22, 2009 Bottle shared with friends, compared alongside the Punk IPA. The colour again is a fairly golden yellow with a thin white head. The aroma is quite citric as well, much more strongly hopped. Mouthfeel is medium in body. I taste more melon, grapefruit, avocado, a fair bit of hop bitterness.
