This is an IPA from the Victory Brewing Company of Pennsylvania. The alcohol content is 6.7%. This one pours amber in color with a thick, off-white head with little lacing. The nose is spicy with a mix of floral scents, sweet malts, and hops (citrus as well). The beer is spicy upfront and the hops are strong and bitter (but not overwhelming). They are balanced nicely by the sweet malts. The alcohol is noticeable, but not obtrusive. The mouthfeel is medium-bodied, moderate carbonation, and finishes dry. This is another solid offering from Victory. I’m usually a harsh critic of IPA’s, but this is one of the better attempts.

This Hefeweizen is from the Victory Brewing Company of Pennsylvania. It pours a slightly hazy yellow color with a foamy white head. I notice banana, clove, and citrus in the nose. The taste is big on clove, banana, wheat, and more clove. The mouthfeel is a carbonated/spicy with a dry finish. The alcohol content is 5.7%. The beer was quite good overall. Pretty true to the style and strong on the cloves. I’d buy it again.

This is a Pilsner from the Victory Brewing Company of Pennsylvania. The alcohol content is 5.3%. The beer pours a pale, golden yellow color with a foamy white head. I notice floral scents, a hint of hops, and spice in the nose. The taste is dominated by peppery hops and the mouthfeel is crisp with a dry hop finish. Pilsners are not my favorite, but this was a nice beer.

This Russian Imperial Stout is brewed by Victory Brewing Company of Pennsylvania. The alcohol content is 9.1% – normal for the style. The beer pours a very dark brown, almost black with a thin dark tan head. I notice strong chocolate and coffee aromas. The taste follows the nose with chocolate, roasted malts, bitters hops and a hint of that alcohol bite. The mouthfeel is creamy and finishes off with dry, bitter hops. Overall, this is a very nice beer. I will definitely buy this one again.
