As I'm continuing to explore the world of beers, I decided to go for something with a bit more kick. While at Total Wine, I picked up several different varietals, one being Hop Wallop. This is brewed by the Victory Brewing Company out of PA. While I'm not much into real hoppy/bitter beers, this one was excellent.

Hop Wallop is a double IPA and delivered a great balance between sweet and bitter from the hops. Victory used whole hop flowers for this one and it measures in at 8.5% ABV.

While the alcohol content is high, they cover it up well. Not overly hoppy, just enough to know it's a hoppy varietal. It has a very nice finish that lingers, but in a good way. I would say it is slightly oily, if that makes sense...I will definitely buy more Hop Wallop, however it is not something I would drink regularly. It's more of a unique beer, and one goes a long way.

Very good choice Rod. Its definitely one of the better DIPA's regular available.
 
BTW, I'm now into real hoppy beers. :)
 
Have you tried HopTopia? The only place I have seen it is Bevmo.
 
No. I'll look for it next time I go beer shopping (probably sometime this week).
 
I love hoppy beers, but this one seemed horrible when I tried it on more than one occasion.................Just like anything else...To each his own.

That's exactly how it went for me. One beer lured me into the hops, and a few years later that hasn't changed. I still reach for the hoppier beers more often than anything else.

Rod, can you score any of the Russian River beers?

I will check next time I'm at the store.
 
Victory Hop Wallop is a awesome IPA to me. Probably because it doesn't tear my stomach up as much. :D
