Oct 31, 2008 On tap. Pours a clear amber with a small, fluffy, white head. Bitter hops aroma, a bit herbal, with pine notes. Taste starts sharp and herbal then picks up a lot of bitter, pine hops. Lingering bitterness. Tasty and very drinkable.

Oct 31, 2008 While i dont think Victory beers have been quite what they used to be since they went to their automated brewhouse, this is still top notch... Nothing quite like drinking a HopDevil at game 5 part 1 of the World Series... I only wish HopDevil had a bit less malt character...

Oct 30, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a deep amber with a 1/2 inch off-white head. Aroma of huge hops with a sweet malt balance. Flavor is pretty much the same. Remember this having a bigger bite the last time. Maybe the bottle had been sitting around for a bit. Still a good brew.

Oct 30, 2008 Pours a cloudy orange with no head. This beer is aptly named because it does have a lot of hops. It has a very strong taste, however not overwhelming. A solid IPA.
12 oz. bottle

Oct 29, 2008 One of the most consistent IPA’s. Well balanced like the Stone IPA but more interesting. A wonderful floral aroma. Very drinkable.

Oct 26, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a deep amber color with a very full frothy beige head that has good retention and produces very nice lacing. Aroma is very potent. I can smell it from almost an arms length away. There is a definite pine and citrus theme with these hops. I also can smell the malt fighting it’s way through the very overwhelming hop presence. Flavor is very strange. It’s not as hop forward as you would think. There is a definite spice presence and almost a bit of yeast in there as well. It reminds me of walking through a brewery while they are brewing. It’s very nice. Very different.

Oct 26, 2008 The beautiful mahogany (almost red) shade abd floral hoppy nose made me ready to dive in to this one, but I was a bit surprised in the overall product. Flavour is very grassy, seedy, in fact, could have passed for a Wheat Ale. There are elements of hickory, wood chips, campfire, sunflower seeds, and beef jerky. Finish was very dry, roasted, and bitter. Victory manages to add a bit of a spice element to many of their brews and this one was no exception...feeling some tangy citrus in there as well and just a touch of honey and strawberry jam. Not sure I am a fan of this one but it was fun to try. Bottle from Tanakaya...around 700 yen--sheesh!

Oct 25, 2008 Dark amber pour with a medium sized off white head. The power is in the spices here, big spicy flavor right up front fading to a hoppy finish in the back end. Also one of the best smelling IPAs I’ve ever had. Winner all around.
