Victory Hop Wallop
 

I tried this last night. I like Victory's beers, and I liked their Hop
Devil, so I thought I might give this a try, despite my trepidation
about the name.

Well, the name is fully justified. It packs a hop wallop, alright.
They push the concept to a place where it should not be taken. I
couldn't finish it. Drank about 2/3 of the pint, and then decided to
get something different to chase it with. The Celis Grand Cru, in fact.
I rather liked that one.

Well, there are plenty of who would disagree with you on that one!

(me included, but its OK to prefer a little more balance in a beer!)

Is it more or less hoppy the Victory's Hop Devil?

Okay. I tried one this afternoon at the Sharp Edge in Pittsburgh (first pint from the first keg). There was more malt in
last year's batch, so it didn't seem as balanced today. Still, it wasn't the hop monster that Stone's Ruination IPA is.
It's certainly hoppy, but speaking as one who is no fan of superhopped beers, this was very drinkable.

Cool, I can't wait to get my hands on some. I'm also waiting on SN's
Celebration Ale, can't get enough of the hops.

Yup, so did the one in Lawrenceville (between Trenton & Princeton) this
morning- picked up a case for $34.99. BUT, oddly, they didn't have any
S-N Celebration even tho' I've seen it at other retailers in the area.

And sure enough, the next time I went back, about 2 weeks later, they
didn't have it anymore.
