Commercial Description:
Horace ‘Hop’ Wallop headed West a broken man. For it was a certain Miss LuLubelle Lager that had left him, thirsting for more. Drawn by wild tales of the riches of the gold mines, Hop pressed on westward. His last nickel spent on a prospecting pan, Hop's hunger and thirst got the best of him. Two fistfuls o' barley and three of some wild and wayward hops tossed in the pan with some clear water was to be his meal. But sleep overcame him and he woke to a bubbling, cacophonous concoction. Overjoyed with the beautiful ale that he had made, Hop realized the secret of the 'green gold' he had discovered in those fresh hops. Celebrated far and wide, Hop Wallop lives on in this vivid ale with his words, "hoppiness is happiness." As our annual homage to the fresh hop harvest, Hop Wallop is a fragrant experience that delights the tastebuds. Pure gold of color, this ale offers its heady bounty of hops to the adventurous of taste. Bold, bracing and surprisingly refreshing for a strong (8.5% a.b.v.) ale, Hop Wallop lives up to its name and legacy.

Pours golden with no head. Aroma of spicy hops & fruit. Taste is chewy hops, light citrus leading to a dry bitter end. When you get to the end of your glass the bitterness really catches up to you.

Mostly clear amber pour, very small ring of a white head at the edges of the glass. Aroma is very muted. I smell some floral and citrus hops. Flavor is very hoppy at first, giving way to a great dose of malts and then finishes bitter again. Hops are grassy and citrus.

The nose is dominated by floral hops, very nice. The appearance is straw gold, light in color for an IIPA, thin white head. The flavor is hoppy, floral and citrus, grassy, and sweet malts. A sharp bittering at the end, mainly floral hops again. Decent overall.

Bottled. Aroma has pineapple and pine, some maltiness. Clear, golden coloured beer with a white head. The taste is bitter (moderate for a DIPA). Medium bodied. quite crisp. Citrus and some light maltiness. Quite balanced. Okay beer.

Nice lacing with a surprisingly clear golden color to the body. Aromas of pine, resin, orange and lemon. Flavors disappoint a bit. Hops are strong but overwhelmingly one dimensional. Probably my least favorite Victory brew of the four I had yesterday. Will give this one another shot soon and revise if necessary.

Bottle pours a slightly lacing eggshell head with a clear golden body. Aroma is of citrus and floral hops. Flavor is the same with lingering citrus hops and a little bitterness.

12 oz bottle, poured into a tulip. Gold color with off-white head. Aroma of pine, grass, and pineapple. Taste of citrus, pine, and mild sweet malt. Medium, crisp mouthfeel. Pretty good DIPA.
