Victory Brewing Company Vine to Victory Harvest Ale American Pale Ale at 6.5% ABV ($2.37 at Specs Main Houston, 355ml, best before 10-Mar-2015)
Pours clear pale amber with one finger of off white head diminishing gradually to a thin skim, patchy lacing. (3/5) Nose is pine, citrus, black tea, floral notes, mild caramel malt. (8/10) Taste is mild sweet, moderate to strong bitterness. (7/10) Medium body, moderate carbonation, astringent bitter finish. (4/5)
A fairly aggressive APA, with a distinctly astringent bitter finish. Lots of flavour, though. If you drink them continuously, the astringent finish isn’t a problem! (14/20)
