Victory Brewing Co. is a very well respected microbrewery in the Philadelphia area. Their beers have won many awards and featured in many national articles. I've sampled a few through the years. So, let's see how their IPA rates.
It's a beautiful copper color. The head is thick, creamy, and a nice off white. The aroma is full of hops.
The front has a medium sweetness with malt and caramel. The mid is about the same. The brew has a nice semi-creaminess to it. It has a slight oily coating to the tongue. It washes into a nice bitter hops. Not too strong. It lightly lingers on the tongue for a good while.
This is a very balanced brew. Nice sweetness up front and a good hop finish. But it doesn't overpower. It's not too strong in flavor. Alcohol is 6.7% so it is powerful. This is a brew that you can enjoy over a long evening or one or two with a hearty meal. I am very impressed with this brew.
