4.2
UPDATED: APR 26, 2021 Good Belgian notes on the nose, super delicious and easy drinking for 9.5% (be careful!) I liked this much more when it had a nice 'belgian' sediment layer, I think it greatly added to the character, mouthfeel, body and flavor. Now it looks like Bud. This now has a Best by date! WTF! Give me a Brewed On date ! Let me decide you pansy weights! Still a good beer but Ron and Bill gotta go back to old way of making this classic....getting to Mainstream, gonna lose your base and the reason we love Victory! 82/100
