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.

Hazy dark straw with a fleeting head. Grassy hop aroma with some grainy pale malts. Smooth medium body. Grassy hop flavor here with a taste of bready malts. Lots of hop bitterness with little hop flavor. Not my cup o’ tea.

Clear golden amber with a creamy head that lasted to the end. Floral citris aroma. Very hoppy and slghtly sweet with lingering piney aftertaste. Crisp beer, but with a very nice slippery mouthfeel. I liked this one.

This one’s name says it all!! The nose is citrus and hops oddly enough. It has a nice gold pour and slight white head. The flavor is of fine floral hops and has a nice citrus twang to it. A nice well hopped ale.

Golden pour with a bit of head. Nice aroma of citrus and bitter aftertaste. IPA-esque with a nice percentage of alcohol. Another good brew by Victory.

Pours a golden color. Piney hop smell. For an imperial IPA this was extremely drinkable. The hops were tasty but not overpowering. Very enjoyable.
