Victory HopDevil

Brewed by Victory Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Downingtown, Pennsylvania USA

Bottle. Thanks Santa! This beer is a great example of why I love IPA’s. Poured a clear deep amber with a thin off-white head. Nose is full of glorious American hops which lend citrus, pine, and grass notes. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Flavor is dry, caramel and big hops, not very balanced at all which I love. Good amount of bitterness. Finishes dry and bitter.

Bottle, 12oz, at Copenhagen Beerfestival. It pours an almost clear, golden-orange body under a decent beige head. Peachy, resiny hops blend with malty sweetness and some alcohol in the aroma. The flavor is resiny too, with some sweetness, pine cones and citrus peel. Pleasant bitterness lasting for a while. Full-bodied, almost astringently bitter. A nice one, but nothing extraordinary, and it sort of feels a bit unbalanced. Pleasant though. (09516)

Hoppy and spicy nose with a real smooth long lasting finish on the throat, one not not be missed. Fantastic beer

Cask conditioned at The White Horse, Parsons Green, London. Orange gold, hazed, with slight white head. Smoother than the other IPA’s at the festival with a reasonable bitterness and hoppiness, caramel in the finish, reasonable.

Cask-conditioned on handpump, pours deep orange with a thin head, nose is orangey hops with lots of juicy malt combined with dry spicy hops.

Mild grapefruit, spice, and bread aroma. Golden amber with white head that leaves nice lacing. Citrus, grapefruit, and lite bread & caramel flavours. Balanced, bitter, and dry finish.

Great smooth IPA. Wonderful floral, hoppy nose. Easy going palette with just the right bitter finish. Refreshing and perfect for summer. A great beer to use to introduce someone to the bravado of hops.

Very bitter! Hops galore. Another victory for Victory! Great IPA, up with the likes of DFH!
