Plunging even deeper into the dark Belgian ale scene but with a distinctive American twist, Downingtown’s Victory Brewing Co. has unveiled its new 13-percent-alcohol Hoppy Quad.

A bright and bold beer, Hoppy Quad is brewed exclusively with American hops: Cascade, Chinook, Citra and Mosaic, along with being fermented in the Belgian yeast strain. As a result, the smooth and elegant brew boasts exceptional aromas of freshly-cut peaches against hints of brewer’s grain while aromatic notes of citrus and resinous cedar are evidenced. Capitalizing the B in bold, freshly intense Hoppy Quad is flavorfully more assertive compared to dubbel and tripel counterparts, and Victory claims this surprisingly easy-drinking brew takes center stage as the life of every party it attends.

“We had as much fun thinking about and making this as we did sampling the first batch,” President and Brewmaster Bill Covaleski said. “True lovers of the Belgian quadrupel process, fans of V Twelve and even those new to the flavors of craft beer are certain to enjoy all the flavors this new brew brings to our family of Victory products with its bold assertiveness.”

Hoppy Quad takes a step beyond V Twelve in the tradition of Belgium’s Trappist brewers and the modern ingenuity the brewery has become extremely well-known for.

The new release is hitting shelves and drafts across Victory’s entire 36-state distribution footprint now through November in 750-milliliter bottles with a suggested retail price of $9.99. Find the outlet nearest you on its Beerfinder website or the free Victory Mobile app for Android and iPhone.
