Victory Hop Wallop

650 ml bottle. From the US. Thanks Brandman!
Hazy golden colour with small white head. Sweet delicious hoppy aroma. Flavour of bitter piney grapefruity hops and long bitter hoppy aftertaste. Nice Double IPA.

Lemon grass nose. Light amber color, clear, thick yellow head, nice lacing. Honey and lemon grass flavor with a peppery finish. Medium bodied belly warmer. Pretty nicely done, with the flavor of noble hops.

Light clear amber orange, loose lumpy whitish head with falling concentric rings of lacing. Big grapefruit mixed with pine hop aroma, lots of malt sweetness behind it, caramel, toffee. Taste is grapefruit, sweet toffee, apples, caramel, lasting bitter finish.

Hazy creamy golden pour white head and lots of lacing ..nice hoppy floral citrusy aroma .. little sweet malt that gives way to a not overly hoppy taste and I had it on cask so maybe carbonation would have given it more spunk ... not as good as hop devil or wild devil but a good ipa from a great brewery

(Draught at Publick House, Brookline, MA) Poured yellow and hazy with medium sized and white head. Aroma of hops, alcohol and fruitiness. Medium bodied and dry palate with medium carbonation. Tasted of hops, alcohol, fruitiness, sweetness, bitterness and resin. Bitter and hoppy aftertaste. Despite the clear presence of alcohol still a balanced beer.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Mellow, dribble-making LYCHEE aroma straight from the bottle, and plenty of it. Pours bright golden with a tireless Duvel-like effervescence totally at home in the Super des Fagnes goldfish bowl. Hops wrestling with the alcohol on the pour; grapefruit, white grape, fizz and toffee malts breaking through. Immediate alcohol burn, soap, husky malts, marmalade, pine, more astringency and heat than the tropical pithiness promised by the aroma. Try saying that after a couple of pints. Carbonation soon burns itself out. Tasty, but doesn’t feel like it’s got the hop and malt substance to carry the alcohol. A bit harsh and empty. More of a jab than a wallop.

Pours dark golden color with white head. Big grapefruit and pine hop aromas. Bitter grapefruit rind flavor with a hint of malt sweetness. Medium body with lively carbonation and a resinous mouthfeel.

Bottle at the Bloomington Beer Festival. Poured gold with a lasting nicely lacing white head. Aroma had a nice combination of pine and citrus notes. Flavor showed off the pine notes more than the citrus notes, but still balanced well.
