    I saw it's now available in Chester County and at the brewery.

    Anyone try it yet? Thoughts? I'll get mine tomorrow and I can't wait!

    Edit: this is Victory's new DIPA.

    Picked up a case at the brewery for ~42$. Very tasty, light bodied with big hops. Kind of reminded me of Flying Fish Exit 16.

    Incredible. Possibly top 5 DIPA in U.S.

    So says the Victory rep. I need to try it myself.

    Please do not hype your beer before its even available. Let it be hyped by people who actually drink it.

    I love Victory but can do without the hype. Does the brewery know you are here doing this?

    Enjoy

    Picked up a case today.

    Overall I liked it a lot. Top 5 DIPA ? No way. But I foresee this becoming one of my go to beers. It'll be easy to get here in PA, the price is right for a DIPA and it shouldn't be hard to find it fresh.

    Grab a 4 pack and give it a go guys!

    The biggest grapefruit bite you'll probably ever taste....love it fresh. An interesting selection of hops that were used, including Mosaic. I have heard the brew was dry-hopped twice.

    It really fascinating that the brewpub has four Victory DIPA's on tap: HW, Ranch, Liberty Bell Ringer and Dirt (nap) Wolf....there is a remarkable difference when taste all four. LBR is a more tropical fruit taste that I prefer.

    Go enjoy and compare!

    They'll be pouring it at the Blue Monkey's Autumn beerfest this Saturday. It's due out the 1st or 2nd week of October in SJ for retail sales.

    I haven't had it yet. I've yet to see it in the Lancaster area, but I haven't been to a beer shop in a couple of weeks. I'll be getting it as soon as I see it.

    I heard the Hop Wallop will be gone for good as well as the Ranch as that was experimental. Is that true?

    Not really.

    Hop Wallup will be released periodically, but once you try DirtWolf, I don't know why anyone would ever miss it.

    DirtWolf is the culmination of the Ranch Series.

    Liberty Bell Ringer will be released every year for Philly Beer Week and will also be released during the winter under a different alias.

    Available in Maine as of yesterday, its a Top DIPA to be sure. Quite amazing, and hopefully this will be readily available. Very complex like a Pliny.
