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
