Victory Brewing Company

Downingtown, PA (We've had too many of these. See page 2 here.)

Victory Agave IPA - Blackboard Series #1
IPA - 7% ABV
Pete
     This is OK but certainly not great. It has a bit of an odd sweetness that doesn't really work (I'm sure that's the agave). I don't really want ingredients in my beer that go in margaritas, with the notable exception of lime in a Corona.

Victory Brotherly Love
New England IPA - 6% ABV
Pete
     Basically a "light" version of the NEIPA style. Solid.

Victory DirtWolf
Imperial IPA - 8.7% ABV
Pete
     This isn't nearly as bitter as you'd expect from a "double IPA". It has some citrus flavor, but really just doesn't have enough flavor. Somehow, it doesn't taste boozy.

Victory Festbier
Oktoberfest - 5.6% ABV
Pete
     This is a great one from Victory. It is pretty sweet, but a subtle spiciness balances it very well.

Tripel Ale - 9.5% ABV

    Nothing to write home about, but it'll get you where you want to go...quickly.

Pete
     Only buy this if you're trying to get drunk very fast. It isn't that good. Still, it's relatively cheap for how strong it is.

     Smooth, crisp, delicious.

Victory Home Grown
Lager - 4.8% ABV
Pete
     Very pale beer with a little bit of hoppy flavor. It smells quite a bit dank, and you get a little of that in the flavor too.

Victory Hop Devil
IPA - 6.7% ABV
Pete
     This beer isn't quite as bitter as I was expecting, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. This one is very good.

Victory Hop Ticket Session IPA
IPA - 4.5% ABV
Pete
     This is a somewhat generic IPA, but it is above average. Definitely worth having a 6 pack in the middle of the day.

Victory Hop Wallop
Imperial IPA - 8.5% ABV
Pete
     Very good beer here. It has the nice smooth, bitter feel of an IPA, and it is even stronger than most IPA's.

Victory Kirsch Gose
Gose - 4.7% ABV
Pete
     Very tasty. Nice blend of sour, cherry, and salty. Pretty chuggable if you so desire.

Victory Mighty Things
Imperial IPA - 8.3% ABV
Pete
     Earthy and fairly bitter. I had this with French Onion soup, and man was it an amazing combo. Definitely stands up to hearty flavors quite well.
