Victory Golden Monkey


















































Victory Brewing Company
Golden Monkey
Downington, Pennsylvania
4/30/2009, bottle, 9.5 abv

Smell

A little yeasty. I didn't get any of the spices noted on the label. Taste and smell don't match.

Appearance

Clear golden yellow with lots of suspended particles (yeast?)

Taste

This was a bit complicated. The first sip was a little odd. The next sips weren't bad at all, but towards the end it starting to taste like solvent.

Comments

3 bottles were given to me by someone that couldn't handle it. Can't say I blame them. I will use the 2 remaining bottles to steam crabs.

  1. I totally agree with this one! The first taste was startling, then I kinda got used to it, but it was hard to finish the bottle. I used this to steam shrimp, though, and it was delightful!
