10.17 - All Up In That Dirt

Brand new beer.. this replaced Hop Devil..  which was good, but not great.  Let's see what they got goin on..


Victory - DirtWolf DIPA
an 8.7% ABV ~65 IBU Double IPA with whole flower Chinook, Citra, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops.  It had an opaque, bright sunshine yellow pour with a minimal head.  You guys read the word "Citra", didn't you? Well, the Citra dominates the nose, as it tends to do.  Some Chinook/Simcoe come through with piney notes towards the end, but it's wholly citrus, tropical, onion Citra notes.  There's a ton going on in this..  there's dryer, piney notes.. sweeter tropical notes, and dank resin notes.. all with just a little malt backbone to try and tame this wild animal.  There's a drying, piney finish that has a lingering mango/pineapple flavor..

By far one of the best things that Victory has put out, and a nice addition to bring them into the modern IPA game
