22 oz bottle that I bought way back when it came to GA for the first time. The bottle has a white, dot-matrixed date that says, Best Before Dec 31 08. Deliberately held on to this for aging purposes. Pour is a classic, dark brown, black, ruby red...
This has been a long time coming for me. Although we've had Victory in GA for quite some time, we still got get many of their seasonals and specials, and Moonglow is one that we continue to miss out on. This came from the Charleston Beer Exchange...
Thanks to ArrogantB for the trade before this got to GA. 750 mL corked & aged bottle, dated, bottled on (something - illegible) 10 06. Orange, chill-hazed pour with a nice high head with a little lacing in the Duvel chalice. Alcohol is quite...
Updated Review 12/07 2007 bottling - fresh sample. Much hoppier and less enjoyable to me. Liked the 3 year old bottle, better. Original Review 10/05 12/04/02 Bottling. Thick and noisy, bright copper colored pour with a good head that dies quickly...
Notes: 02/20/22 12 oz can (pictured). The alcohol is less apparent than it once was for me. Spice notes still present. I like this beer, and getting toward twenty years of drinking it proves that. Additional notes: 12/16/06 This is a bottle that is...
Jet black (some very small ruby red highlights) with very little head at all. A little lacing, this is a bit short on looks apart from the deeply opaque body. Slight smokiness, with alcohol and small chocolate overtones make up the nose. Mouthfeel...
A hazy, honey colored pour from the 750 mL corked & caged bottle that came from Green's on Buford, Atlanta, GA, USA. $7.99. Head is perfectly formed. Small but dense, not much lace. Light sweetness in the nose. Mild spice, a little clove and all...
Additional notes 01/12/25 (Pictured) As all of us old-timers know, Prima was touted 20+ years ago as an American beer, near the beginning of a huge US renaissance, that could at least hold its own with its European counterparts. Did I ever think it...
One of my favorite styles from a solid brewer. Despite Victory having been in GA for sometime now, we've never had any of this. 12 oz bottle as part of my Secret Bunny package, thanks mday. Best Before Dec 2 09 printed on the label. Poured into the...
Typical of a good quality American hop heavy IPA. Excellent clarity in the appearance, looks really good, with a dark orange amber tinge, nice head and a little lacing. Nose is typical with citrus grapefruit notes. Taste is dry hops, but they don't...
On tap at the Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA. Served in a Prima Pils glass. Slightly cloudy, yellow body lacking the super-clarity associated with the style. Small head and a disappointing lack of retention and lace. Apperance is not the strength of...
12oz single, Jax, Sandy Springs, Atlanta, GA. Excellent copper color and (for me the most important in this style) great clarity. Clear as a bell. Small, creamy, short-lived head with not much lace. retention poor. Big and malty up front and...
On tap at The Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA. Pint poured with a surprising degree of chill haze and a distinct lack of clarity which worried me. The head was not well formed either, and the lace suffered a little - I was also surprised at the...
22 oz bottle, corked & caged. Golden color with a high head. White. Appropriate looks. Surprising green hop nose as opposed to a noble hop nose. Interesting. Nice bitterness, but again it feels surprisingly green. Very little syrupy viscosity that...
Original notes 05/20/2019 750 mL bottle, corked & caged from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Had a hell of a job getting the cork out eventually having to opt for a full-on corkscrew. Given that, the pop and gunsmoke that came with it was a touch...
22 oz bottle from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. This the same beer as the now retired V-Saison and is retailing around the Atlanta area for a very reasonable $2.99 in some places. Body is a golden clear one with some nice persistent carbonation. Head...
12 oz single from Hop City, Atlanta, GA, USA. Heard various descriptions of this, including "Black Pale Ale" (which I cannot abide) so I was interested (and anxious) to see what this looked like before anything else. The beer pours with a deep,...
12 oz single from Ale Yeah, Decatur, Atlanta, GA, USA. Relatively new entrant to the Atlanta market. Th e pour gives a clear, copper colored body with a one finger head. Head is unfortunately poorly retained and there is virtually no lace. Color is...
Amber body with a one finger head. Light chill haze. Quite dry and hoppy nose that is brought forward to the tastes. Bitterness extends to the aftertaste and finish. Quite interesting how this dry, hoppy bitterness combines with a toffee based,...
22 oz bottle, $4.99. Pour is an attractive, rich golden one with a wispy light head with large bubbles. No density or lace here, although the retention is not awful. Well carbonated. Bottled conditioned (apparently), although the yeast that comes...
This is certainly a popular brew amongst BA's, but if you're not a huge hop-head (as I'm not) this is obviously not going to be your cup of tea. Having said that I am glad that I tried it (thanks meathookjones) and I am trying to review based upon...
12 oz bottle as part of a sixer, Hilton Head, SC, USA. At the time this had not made it to GA. Pour is OK, but lacks the wheat haze appearance that I would normally expect. Some carbonation, but a disappointing lack of head, lace and retention....
Ran into this one on tap at The Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA. This has been getting some mixed reviews at the pub so I thought I'd better road test it myself to be sure. Orange, hazed body with a moderate head and not a great deal of lace. Looks...
Purchased as a sixer of 12 oz bottles in Hilton Head, SC, USA. Although Victory has recently made it to GA, this beer is not one of those that is coming our way just yet. Definitely a macro like appearance. Low carbonation, perfect clarity but a...
I hold my hand up here and admit that I screwed up. The thought of Golden Monkey aged in white wine barrels was definitely something that I would be very interested in. I tend to gravitate toward some of the white wine options for barrel aging, and...
From notes, from a draft offering at The Brick Store, Decatur, GA, USA. Here's the deal - by all means make a sessionable, simple, low ABV beer (the lack of these type of beer is what I am pretty much constantly lamenting here in the US), BUT...
Purchased as a sixer in Hilton Head, SC, USA just a few days or weeks before this made it to Atlanta. Victory had already made it here but Whirlwind was NOT in the initial wave of Victory products, but now (mid-July 2007, it's here). 12 oz bottle....
12 oz bottle from Hop City, Atlanta, GA. $2.99 I *think*. Nice looking pour with a very attractive golden color and plenty of head. Some retention, a little lace. Solid looking. The aroma gives a little white pepper and a few sinus clearing...
