My first review will be on my all time favorite, Victory’s Hop Wallop. I first tried this IPA about 5 years ago and I still can’t get over this beer.
When first purchasing this beer I was told by a friend, a beer buyer, that if I finish the six pack, I will turn into the gentlemen on the label of the beer (please refer to image). I will say, I was intrigued, and I left with the six pack.
APPEARANCE:
A bright orange and golden hue with a thin white head that stays around for a bit. A bit foggy and seems it will be low on the carbonation scale. Overall, this is a very, very attractive looking beer.
SMELL AND TASTE:
When pouring this beer you can smell a faint citrus and pine thing going on. The smell might seem like an over spiced and bold IPA, but relax, it is not that at first.
When taking your first swig it seems crisp and light. Not soon after, your mouth seems to be taken over by a war between the Malt Beers and a field of Grapefruits (the Grapefruits win). You will be shocked by this, I can almost guarantee you. This is my holy grail of beers. Wait a few minutes and after one or two of these guys, thank me later.
