Victory Hop Devil IPA


75 /100

I've had so many people tell how much they enjoyed this beer. I love IPAs and have had this several times, including a quite a few recently. Am I missing something?
To start, it's a fine beer, a quality IPA that was quite enjoyable. But with the accolades this gets I expect it to be something spectacular. Even more so since it's an IPA, one of the finest styles around, in my opinion. I guess the main missing link for me is the use of hops. This has never hit me as an absurdly hoppy beer. I fucking love hops. This falls more into citrus hopland, and I'm a piney / floral kinda jabroni.
Definitely worth trying for yourself, it's a good beer and others seem to dig the shit outta this.
