I tried this last night. I like Victory's beers, and I liked their Hop
Devil, so I thought I might give this a try, despite my trepidation
about the name.

Well, the name is fully justified. It packs a hop wallop, alright.
They push the concept to a place where it should not be taken. I
couldn't finish it. Drank about 2/3 of the pint, and then decided to
get something different to chase it with. The Celis Grand Cru, in fact.
I rather liked that one.

Where? Bottle or keg?

Well, there are plenty of who would disagree with you on that one!

(me included, but its OK to prefer a little more balance in a beer!)

I saw in the window at Fatheads in Pittsburgh that they are making an event out of tapping the keg tonight.

At Redbone's in Somerville, MA. It was keg. They have a large beer
selection there, which rotates across brewers, regions, and types of beer.

Is it more or less hoppy the Victory's Hop Devil?

Okay. I tried one this afternoon at the Sharp Edge in Pittsburgh (first pint from the first keg). There was more malt in
last year's batch, so it didn't seem as balanced today. Still, it wasn't the hop monster that Stone's Ruination IPA is.
It's certainly hoppy, but speaking as one who is no fan of superhopped beers, this was very drinkable.

Where on earth did you get Celis Grand Cru!?!?!
