Victory Yakima Twilight

Brewed by Victory Brewing Company
Style: American Strong Ale
Downingtown, Pennsylvania USA

bottle poured with a mahogany color and a thick light brown head that retained a nice layer. aroma has both bitter and citrus hops, caramel, dark malt, and some nice resins. mouth feel is medium with a nice coating. flavor has a nice firm bitterness, sweet citrus hops, a good dark malted base, and some caramel sweetness. I can dig the hops they used in this one and it has a nice punch.

Bottle. Pours a deep ruby brown with a nice two finger head and aromas of crisp lemon and pine, a little bit of soap and some caramel malt. Flavor is fairly decent as well... lots of pine and citrus throughout, but there is a bit of a soap and biting alcohol presence that gets you a bit. Don’t know if the hot alcohol will burn off with age, but this would be excellent if that were the case.

Draught at the Pizza Plant. Dark brown with a firm white head, with a very hoppy flavor...not as hoppy as an IPA, but hoppier than a pale ale. Very smooth, nice and potent. Very nice beer.

Bottle from Root Cellar. Poured dark clear ruby copper color with a large frothy light brown head that lasted with good lacing. Good complex earthy hop and small malt aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and lively carbonation. Medium to heavy malty bitter flavor with a medium bittersweet finish with a small alcohol burn of moderate duration. This a very good complex brew.

Copper penny brown w/a lasting light beige head. Citrusy & grassy hops co mingling w/ caramel and toasted malts, with some powdered malt and roasty aromas here and there. There’s also a bit of soapiness to the hops that comes and goes. Oddly enough, a tad bit of black licorice in the aroma as well. Flavor is citrus and piney dominated from start to finish, but it’s not overwhelming. There’s a bit of a roasted malt flavor that finds it’s way through the hops though, and some light caramel for good measure. Clean of most fruitiness except where the hops are concerned. The balance is lightly to bitter, lingering, and pleasant. The finish is spicy hop flavored on continues into the aftertaste. Medium full body, low medium CO2, and pleasantly dry on the tongue from alcohol and resins. Overall a solid beer. Well made and hop dominated to the very end. I’d like to see a bit more malt character, but that’s just my opinion.

To quote Macho Man Randy Savage, "OHH YEEAH, DIGG IT!" This is really good stuff. Pretty red with fluffy off white head. Nice hoppy flavor with the malts in back. I see many think this is too hoppy?? Well this is no hop bomb by any means, just a smooth bitter biter. Course I quoted a wrestler, so what do i know?

12 oz bottle. Poured clear dark amber in color with a medium sized tan head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of piney american hops, grapefruit, and caramel. Tastes of roasted malts, hefty american hops, pine, grapefruit, lightly burnt caramel. Pretty nice stuff.

Pours a dark reddish-brown with a big frothy tan head. Overwhelming scent of pine and hops. Taste is hops, hops, hops & HOPS. There is some mild maltiness that balances out the long, bitter finish but this beer is very intense and overwhelming. I’m not too sure about this beer. Perhaps just not in the mood for this style, Sadly this is the only one i have.
