    Yes, I looked up the new label

    Older artwork was much better.

    Love this beer. Don't really care if it's 4-packs or 6-packs as long as it's fresh. Haven't been able to find this fresh the last few years though.

    $11.49 for a six pack at my local Wegmans.

    I prefer the old artwork but, the new artwork is fine.

    Yep saw the same thing at a Wegman's so that's good, a reasonable price.

    DFH 60 Min bottles back up to $11.99, not sure what is going on but that is a bit much.

    How expensive is this going to be? Dirt Wolf is a beer I love but seldom get because of price

    I bought a six for $12.49, which is a bit better per oz than the 4 pack pricing. Unfortunately I also saw it for $14.99 at a couple shops.

    The wholesale price for us went down when it went from 4 packs to 6 packs. I want to say it will be around $12-12.99 retail here in SC. Still one of the best readily-available double IPA's out there.

    I haven't had this beer in a while and saw some fresh so grabbed a sixer, as good as I remembered it to be.

    Victory Dirt Wolf is best when it is super fresh IMO. A couple of months ago I bought a 12-pack and those beers were less than a week old when I purchased them. I immediately refrigerated those beers and over a month+ I drank those 12 beers. Even when stored cold these beers very notably 'evolved' in their flavor profile over those 30+ days. I still enjoyed drinking that last bottle which was about 1.5 months old at the stage but the hop aroma was much reduced as compared to the very fresh bottles.

    In other words:
    • Continuously store these beers cold
    • Drink quickly!!
    Cheers!

    If they would move this to 12oz cans, it would become my go-to festival beer in the summer. Such a good brew.

    A friend bought a six of Dirtwolf last week and I offered me one. It's a much different beer than when it first launched. I taste adjunct grains and under attentuation. Even the hop character is very different. Sadly this has been the direction that all of Victory's beers have gone for me.

    I have to disagree. Had on tap at DTown location over the weekend and it was great. I find it better now than when it 1st came out. I love the hop profile and clean malt backbone.

    Hop Devil in cans was a good start. One of my favorite "old school" IPAs.

    As I worked my way through my six pack I could see why you would say this.
