Victory HopDevil

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

Poured a brownish, orange color into a pint glass with a little head and lacing. Initial citrus aroma and of course, lots of hops. Good bitter hops flavor and an easy drinker. I think this may have been an older bottle, as the flavor was a little muted. Hope to find this on tap here in the twin cities.

Nice amber color with a big off-white head. Hoppy, floral, and citric aroma. Smooth hop and dry taste, and a nice dry finish. I had this one with the SN celebration and this one was way lighter even thought the ABV is the same.

12oz bottle-A caramel body with a nice tight off white head and an aroma of citrus, hops, and a little malt. Taste of this medium bodied brew comes across with the same as the hops become more prominent throughout and it finishes with slight bitterness and sweetness. NIce tasting brew.

Bottle. Pours a lovely hazy dark orange color with a hefty light tan head. Aroma is full of citrus and pine with a background of malt. Wonderful sweet grapefruit taste up front with a nice backbone of malt leading into a long finish with a slowly developing bitterness. Body is a little thinner than I might like, but overall quite tasty.

(10/24/08) Cask at Blind Tiger in New York. Slightly hazy amber color with a bit of white foam. Aroma of rather flowery hops, some citric and peach hints and some biscuit malts. Hoppy citrusy flavor with freshly squeezed greapefruit juice, light lemony hints, some malt and caramel notes. Nice slick mouthfeel.. A good refreshing IPA.

12 oz bottle. Pours a crystal clear, dull-light-orange with a small, very fizzy, white head that dissipates quickly. Remains lacy on the surface with minimal lace on the glass. Some nice aroma of citrusy hops, most likely cascade. Grapefruit, pale malts, sweet zinginess, and a bit of earthiness. A simple, but pleasant aroma. Flavor has a pretty straightforward bitterness, but its a bitterness with a bite. Very distinct. Breadlike and light bodied throughout. Citrusy and sweet, but definitely spicy and piney. Very clean and dry. Overall, a nice, simple, easy drinking IPA with a very one dimensional bitterness that I enjoy.

Pours a pale bronze with a nice 1/8" of creamy tan head. tons of creamy lacing and sticking. OMG this is beer? Super faint, almost non existant aroma. There is some faint hints of apple, pear and a hint of melon. The flavor is also a bit thin. This is a far cry from what I remembered this beer to be. This beer ought to be called Hop Angel but, that’s to angelic. This beer is decent not more. It feels thin for an IPA. Reminds me of a basic IPA. Surpiring. I remember this beer being a lot more hoppy. This beer is as drinkable as a glass of water. Yum but what happend to the hops?

Grapefruit and wort on the nose. Pours a dark murky amber with only a modest head. More grapefruit and vanilla in the mouth, raw and husky on the finish. Smooth on palate despite a pronounced hop burn. Very drinkable.
