Hop Devil

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Hop Devil
  

• Brewery: Victory Brewery (Pennsylvania)

• Style:IPA

• ABV:6.7.%

• IBU: 50

• Pour Color: Nice golden color on the pour not very murky.

      The scent comes out the bottle. A nice full range of hop scent. Pine and citrus tones are easy to catch before the foam goes down in the glass. The head didn't stick around to long. The taste is a nice earthy deep hop flavor. It mixes well with the malts that only gives a slight sweet flavor. It must be the whole hops that they use that reminds me of a Torpedo. Not quite as bitter but a really great IPA. One of the best I have reviewed and a constant favorite of me and the Faces. 
      Another Victory brew and another one in the W column. This one doesn't kick your butt like a  Hop Wallop but is much easier drinking. Like I said this one is the old standby when it comes to my favorite beers. Hop heavy and drinkable for most occasions, the Hop Devil is always a good choice.

Hop Wallop

The Beer Stats:

• Beer Name: Hop Wallop

• Brewery: Victory Brewerys (Pennsylvania)

• Style: Imperial IPA

• ABV:8.5%

• IBU:

• Pour Color: A nice goldern slightly cloudy color

      Hop Wallop.... Wow..... The pour was that golden color you expect from a lager or a pilsner. The scent though is not that of a lager. I got a heavy scent of hops, off the glass, as the Face lifted it. Then came the splash of hop flavor. Citrus tones and floral tones take over this beer quick and echo long. This one tastes like the hops forever after. As a hop lovin mustache this was paradise really. 
      This is one of my new favorites. The hop combination, with just a slight malt flavor, really works. This one is much easier to drink then the Hop Stoopid or the DogFish 120, but, still has the character of an Imperial IPA. With Prima Pills and Hop Devil also made by victory expect the Face and I to drink and review more Victory!
