Monday, July 6th, 2009Victory Wild Devil Ale
6.7% ABV
Hop Devil fermented fully with Brettanomyces yeast.
WOW!
1st taste – Hops are still there in finish, but overpowering dirty sock taste, (cheese maybe, Stilton, Bleu cheese?), hits you in the face 1st. Cover me, I’m going back in!
Sorry if I’m offending any sour beer aficionados here, but this is my 1st trip down Brett. Lane. This is definitely an acquired taste! Any brett. experts out there, please chime in. I remember the first Bud I ever had, and how awful and bitter I thought beer tasted. I’ve come a long way, but I don’t know if I’ve made it this far. I’ll let you know. Liquid bleu cheese maybe? I am on a new frontier here. I wonder what this would be like paired with a strong Gorgonzola? Mind blowing, I imagine. All I can say is, if you are a broad spectrum beer lover, and extremely daring, give Victory Wild Devil a shot. Hell, buy two and age one. Who knows what this beer will be like in a couple of years?
That’s it, definite bleu cheese intermingled with hops, this is growing on me. Gotta try more sour beers.
Saaaalut!
Talking Monkey gives this one 6 of 10 Bananas.
