The Devil is in the Details


Victory HopDevil
One of the beers I bought on a swift trip to MN. The label is superb, one of the best uses of a hop cone ever. Really nice hazy copper beer with a fluffy head and good lacing. The aroma is very pronounced grapefruit and some pine hop with sweet caramel and bready malts to keep everything in balance. The flavor is wonderful, with a very solid base of caramel malt that is gently washed over with growing waves of citrus and herbal alpha hop goodness. A nice bitterness that seems to go hand in hand with a drying finish. Overall a excellent example of an IPA due to its balance and complexity.
