200. Victory Hop Wallop

This is only my second beer from Victory Brewing but so far I am impressed. This is their double IPA and it is a good one. Appearance is not the best but still solid with a nice orange color and medium white head. A very pleasant earthy aroma but taste has lots and lots of grapefruit which is surprisingly good in a beer. I have had a few double/imperial IPAs with big grapefruit tastes and have enjoyed them all. This is a very good beer and something I would enjoy having again. If you see this in your local beverage store you should certainly give it at try. 
Pros: Aroma, Grapefruit taste
Cons: 
Alcohol Content: 8.5% ABV
Calories: ???
IBU (Bitterness): ??

Rating: ★★

Brewers Description: We celebrate the pioneering spirit of old Horace ‘Hop’ Wallop and those who dare mighty adventurous things in this vivid, robust ale. As our annual homage to the hop harvest, expect loads of aromatic splendor and bitter beauty.

158. Victory Brewing Golden Monkey

This one surprised. Not sure what I was expecting as this was my first beer from Victory Brewing but with an alcohol content of almost 10% I knew it was going to be strong. The beer is a beautiful orange with a thick white head. Lots of floral aroma and the taste follows. A slight bitterness and great body to the beer. Did not taste the alcohol and it was very easy to drink, overall a beer you should try.
Pros: Appearance, aroma
Cons: 
Alcohol Content: 9.5% ABV
Calories: ???
IBU (Bitterness): ??

Brewers Description: Strong and sensual, this golden, Belgian-style ale glows. The richness of German malts and Belgian yeast are tempered by a sparkling approach and overall light body. Abundant herbal, fruity notes make Golden Monkey® one to savor.
