31 - Victory Hop Wallop

Okay so I decided to complete my recent Victory trilogy. I recently had the Storm King and another one that I forget, but enjoyed both, even if I can't remember the name.

So, despite me burying the lead, just like the other Victory beers, I liked the Hop Wallop. Not as much as I anticipated, but I am not sure whether I had hyped myself up or whether it is just an above average IPA. I recently became a hop lover so my standards for hop are a bit more stringent than they used to be.

But I like it and I will get another three Victory beers for the next round and review them as prequels that I will consider not as good as the first three because I gave it enough time to become nostalgic and jaded from digital effects.

Victory: A New Hop

I give it 5 out of 8 lame cryptic references.

23 - Stoudt's American Pale Ale

This is a "nice" beer. It is a very drinkable and sort of jingoistic beer with a big ole boot up ass American flag decal. But in reality it is actually just a very standard IPA. Perhaps they confused India Pale Ale with Native American Pale Ale and copied it. But if you like the IPA then you will like this. It is very agreeable and easy to drink, that is if you like to drink a beer with some hops.

Nothing creatively amazing, just your "run of the mill" Native American Pale Ale.

I give it 2.8 of 4 whooping native Americans around a wagon circle.
