Victory Saison Ale
There is one Victory beer I particularly like which is the Hop Devil IPA. Cool Label, good beer with tons of hops. When I saw this in my Local beer Store, I was surprised. I didn’t know Victory was making corked Saison style ale in a 750ml bottle, so I had to get it.
Pour:
As with most Saisons, this highly carbonated beer requires a slow and delicate pour, but be sure to leave some room for the head.
Appearance:
Light and clear blond ale with lots of bubbles, typical for the style of beer. A clean thick white head, which lasted the entire pint. The last glass had a ton of sediment; so if you don’t like the sediment, leave a bit at the bottom.
Aroma:
This Saison was a bready sweet citrus aroma with a mild hop presence.
Taste:
A nice light crisp lemony citrus sweet beer. The lemony sweet was nicely balanced with mild hop bitterness and a good long lasting finish.
Drinkability:
Nice refreshing beer, crisp, full of flavor. Take a small sip and let the beer roll around in your mouth, this beer has such nice flavors.
Tasting Method: 750 ml Corked Bottle
My Rating: 9.3
Thanks for the nice review. We often talk of lemon and pepper in the flavor of this one. Quite spicy and refreshing with its 4 European hops.
You do mean HopDevil Ale, not Hop Head, right?
Moderator: Yes, Hop devil. I corrected the review.
