Jul 5, 2008 Beautiful amber color with a nice white head, good lacing as well. Grapefruit and piney hops, with a decent malt base. Biscuity beginning, grapefruit starts coming through, then pine before leading to a bit of a grassy finish. High carbonation, full body. I like it, and would have it again.

Jul 4, 2008 12oz bottle. slightly hazy orange pour with a smallish but fuffy white head and a lot of stick. tons of hoppiness in the aroma - grass and lemon also. as expected, tons of hops in the taste. bitter up front and all the way to the long finish. in between there are hints of caramel, grapefruit citrus and malt. not the most balanced beer ever - but that’s obviously not the idea here. tasty stuff. would love to try this one on draft.

Jul 4, 2008 Victory Hop Devil is a well carbonated dark amber IPA. Hop Devil is hell carbonated so I would recommend the Tulip glass to make room for the massive head that will be poured. By the name alone you obviously expect hops to penetrate the nose and the flavors of this brew and you are not disappointed. Other accompanying aromas include a caramel malt and some very earthy notes. The malt barely comes through on the flavor side with some citrus and some sweet elements, but the center of the party lies in the lasting bitter hops at the finish. A pure spur of the moment buy and I am very glad I did. Will revisit soon.

Jul 2, 2008 Updated: Jul 4, 2008Pours a deep glowing dark ruby with a frothy beige head that quickly disappears into a finer head. Lots of sweet rich malt and citrus and piney hops in the aroma. First taste is kinda earthy, piney, salty... slightly plasticy. Kinda of a glassy dull flavor compared to the aroma, a little bit spicy. A little bit fruity, some english style malt richness and a touch of caramel. Glassy palate with a medium body and smooth yet lively carbonation.

Jun 28, 2008 bottle. Pours a middling golden color with a really nice head- inch+, sticks around for a good long time. Aromas of heavy toasted biscuits and a mix of hops- some floral cut grass, some sharp chalky citrus. Flavor starts with a sharp bitterness and a full hop character, mostly citrus notes with some floral and pine resin. Some toasted bread malt backbone, not much sweetness. Bitterness lingers in a somewhat oily finish.

Best IPA I’ve had in ages. Hop bomb with citrus and freshly cut grass exploding in your face. Like jumping naked into a kiddie pool full of lemon juice. Aroma is enticing, flavor is hop forward, and the overall effect is WOW. This was the beer that reawakened me to IPA’s.
