Brewed for the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo, this IPA shoots a raygun blast of Galaxy and Zythos hops into your mouth and leaves a crisp, dry finish. This IPA has big hop flavors and aromas of tropical fruit and citrus.

Look: Poured a light orange/dark yellow with a quickly dissipating 1 finger of head into my snifter from a 22oz Bomber. This left behind spotty lacing on the glass as I enjoyed it.
Smell: I'm smelling passionfruit, slight citrus and a slight biscuity note on the nose. Also comes in with some earthy hop notes which I suspect is from the Galaxy hops.
Taste: The hops show up right on the front of the tongue with some nice citrus notes along with earthy tones. There is also a nice hoppy spiciness to the brew. The biscuit and cracker notes from the malt balance out the brew nicely. A nice touch of bitterness makes for a well balanced IPA.
Feel: This is medium bodied with a nice amount of carbonation. This comes off a bit on the chewy side.
Overall: This is a nice IPA that I would recommend. Revolution makes good brews but I would've liked for them to date the bottle as I am not sure how fresh this beer is which is critical for an IPA.

12 oz can, dated 6-4-19, came as part of a 12 pack mixed box.
Pours lightly hazed, leaving a minor cap and copious ringed sheeting.
Mild sniff with melon coming forward.
Tasty and enjoyable IPA, again some melon, moderate pineapple/grapefruit, some resiny hops in the finish....worthy everyday kinda brew.

Nice smooth, crisp IPA with just the right amount of bitter bite. Pours a very slightly hazy yellow-orange with a little foamy head and spotty lingering lacing. Smells great, bold, crisp fruity zest hops mixed with some piney and herbal hops. Tastes of loads of fresh fruit - grapefruit, mango, tangerine, pineapple, orange - as well as piney and herbal hops, vanilla, bread and a great malt backbone. Goes down impossibly smoothly, nice clean mouthfeel and just enough carbonation. An excellent IPA that feels sessionable.
