Grabbed a few of these the other day from the perfect pour and just had a chance to drink one at Johns after our hop trimming. In short this beer is Victory’s flagship Hop Devil fermented with 100% Brettanomyces, which is a wild yeast. When the notice for this was released a few months ago I was very excited because its one two very unique beers just starting to be released in bottles. Plus I love to try anything with wild yeast or bacteria.
I have to say this beer is awesome, way better than I ever expected. The aroma definitely gives off a nice brett character and the head has just as much brett flavor. The beer tastes very nice with just the right amount of brett banyard/horse blanket flavor. The more you drink and the cooler it gets the better it gets. Even better, this beer is balanced with a great bitter finish, akin to it’s devil sibling. All around this beer is very tasty and well balanced. I think I may go get a bunch of this to store and drink because its that good.
It has inspired me to do an all brett beer very soon. Maybe as soon as May 2nd, we’ll see. To do that I will need to have a big container that will fit my stainless fermentor, so that I can acid clean it afterwards. I’m very paranoid about infecting all my beer with brett
