HopDevil Ale from Victory Brewing Company
Rating: A-
I used a clone recipe of this to brew a batch of IPA, so I was curious to taste what the real thing is like!
Appearance: ruddy amber color, good head, not much lacing but possibly because I was forced to reuse the glass (waitress didn't bring me a new one, and she was hard enough to track down to order)
Smell: lots and lots of hops, with a grapefruity character
Taste: again, grapefruit hops (though not as grapefruity as smuttynose), very dry, with a touch of caramel.
Mouthfeel: much lighter mouthfeel than I expected, I would have preferred a little more.
Drinkability: good, but on the whole (and it's great to be able to say this!) I think I liked the version I brewed better!
Serving type: bottle
