Victory Brewing Company is celebrating 20 years of craft brewing with the Anniversary 20 Experimental IPA. The playful packaging uses the same color palette of the logo from 1996.
The IPA is brewed with pilsner, carapils malts and a very rare, experimental hop. Idaho 7, a recently developed hop variety, takes center stage in this celebratory but sessionable liquid homage. Discovered in the third largest hop-producing state in the country, Victory helps the hop make its East Coast debut by utilizing 20 years of craft brewing knowledge to harness all of its juicy hop power into a 12 oz. bottle.
Anniversary 20 Experimental IPA boasts complex fruity aromas of orange and apricot with hints of mildly astringent black tea-like characteristics as well as a pleasantly fresh, slightly pine herbal bouquet. At a reasonable ABV of 5.5%, Anniversary 20 Experimental IPA is a great option for drinking in session. The beer will be on tap and on shelves from January to April.
