Bottle. Pours a rich honey color with a nice frothy off white head that leaves thick lacing around that glass. Aroma is huge with the smells of pine, grapefruit, zest, spices, and just a bit of mango. Taste is great, unforgiving hops, sweet hops, sticky hops, just hops everywhere is the flavor of this beer. Oh yeah and just a little itty bitty bit of malt added in for good measure. Mouthfeel is full, somewhat sticky, and very tangy from carbonation.

Aug 23, 2008 Nice pour...amber/golden with a leggy head. Aroma is like walking though a pine
woods. Taste is definitely hops with a touch of sweet malt. Needs to have a bigger mouthfeel to put it with the big dogs.

smoother than the bottle. very nice aroma and color.
hops are a little much , but it is called hop wallop! victory tends to brew high end beers in my opinion, but this beer seems to be riding the hop train in danger of going off the rails.

Aug 17, 2008 Six pack of 12 ozers at Frugal MacDoogal’s in Charlotte. Poured a clear gold color with a two finger white head, into an english pint glass. Aroma was yeasty and a little malt. Flavor was sweet fruit up front, with a lingering bitter bite. Medium body with average carbonation. Really enjoyed this beer.

Aug 9, 2008 Pours a clear medium gold with a thick white head. Medium hop aroma of herbal and citrus hop. Backed by sweet toffee and caramel malt tones.
A tart fruitiness in the flavour. Medicinal-herbal hop. Firm malt body and a grassy bitterness in the finish. Some lingering alc as well.

Aug 6, 2008 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Bright golden with lasting white head and lace. Fresh fresh hop aroma with a little biscuit and yeast. Medium apricot fruitiness with a hint of honey followed by a fresh hop flavor and surprisingly mellow lingering bitter finish. Medium-full body and medium carbo. Not especially complex, just an excellent fresh hop experience.
