Unsessionable
Revolution Brewing

 

This beer is currently helping me to sustain my will to live. Hints of fried chicken, caramel, and rice whiskey.

Taste and look are fantastic, old school, love this old school flavor bomb.

 

 

 

Pours clear golden color with a 1 finger white head. Smell is pine ,oranges,grapefruit and caramel malts. Taste has grape fruit rind pine cone hops with some palate wrecking hops also some floral hoppy sweetness a good mix all in a good way, This is an IPA from 12 - 15 years ago Mouth feel bitter with pine and citrus hop rind, smoothed out with sweet caramel malts. Loved it

My 23rd review of a Revolution beer & it won’t be my last (unless I stop a semi tomorrow). 16 oz. can & the first Revolution I bought at my local here in MN. Woohoo!

The pour is like old-school IPA porn a sharp, wistful gold clearer than Charlize Theron’s complexion. The nose is bitter pine, hopefully mirrored in what I’m about to ingest.

Unsessionable sounds like a challenge. The taste is indeed full of north woods pine along with serious throat-clearing firewater & plenty of tropical fruit but more citrus than…NE IPA. Juicy might be more accurate & as a taste, not a genre. Caramel malt before a harsh, welcome bitterness cleans up the joint. Thick for an IPA & despite the big ABV it is, dare I say, a brew I could have more than one of.

This is lovely. It doesn’t quite reach the seats but it’s definitely off the wall. Very good brew.

 

This is an amazing example: strong, powerful but not overpowering. High ABV, but not to the extreme. Very hoppy, well balanced fruit, floral, herbal, bitter notes. Prime example of an Imperial IPA, more traditional - not hazy, not milkshake, no added donuts, no added lactose, etc. etc. Just a very very good, strong IPA.

 

 

 

Been very anxious to try this beer since it has some many positive reviews and it is hard to find. Very good beer
Pours a light golden yellow color not too big of a head
Taste non distinctive at first but improved along the way....maybe the 10% alcohol
Overall a solid beer! Will have to try a few more.
2nd and 3rd try.....Love it. The taste is distinctive and most pleasing

 

Canned 9/27/16; drank 10/14/16 @ the Yarchives.

See-through orange appearance.

A rough pour yielded a HUGE white head; thick, frothy lace.

Orange citrus, banana & faint clove notes in the nose.

Medium thick mouthfeel.

Banana, mild orange citrus & faint clove flavors up front; excessively bitter finish. No booze heat.

Either I've changed or Unsessionable has changed; either way, we're no good for one another anymore.

 

12oz can. Poured out a clear, golden amber color with a good-sized, off-white head of foam. It smelled of pine, orange peel and toasted caramel. Nice piney bitterness, citrusy zest and a strong toasted maltiness.

Pouring from a 12 oz. can into a snifter glass, this beer pours out clear and golden. Not perfectly clear but pretty easy to see through to the other side. It formed a dense and tightly packed crown of over a finger. Held up with great retention and left spotty lacing.

The smell brings notes of pine with the most prominence then comes with light fruit, floral and an alcohol sharpness.

The taste has a bread element all the way through to the finish. Some caramel lightly comes through. Crystal malt showing in there. Then comes pine and light fruit like grapefruit, tangerine.

The mouthfeel is juicy but that alcohol does show quite a bit. I feel like even though this is 10%, it could’ve been smoothed out a little instead of being so sharp. Bitter.

Overall, this isn’t bad by any means. I do feel like it would’ve been better at a different time in craft beer though. And I’m an old school ipa fan more than new hazy ipa fan. I love that west coast, huge double feel, I just feel this might be a little too harsh and could’ve been smoothed out.

 

12oz canned 11/12/18 (38 days ago) poured into a can glass at fridge temp 10% ABV 100 IBU. The beer pours bright orange, golden amber in color with off white head. The head sticks around and leaves some lacing. The aroma is candied grapefruit and evergreen. The taste is semisweet caramel, some grapefruit and pine with a big boozey and highly bitter finish. As advertised. The mouthfeel is medium bodied, adequately carbonated and somewhat dry in the finish. There's a lot of residual sugar and hop shellac in there, but the alcohol and bitterness balance it pretty well. Overall, very good. I'm a sucker for these old school west coast DIPAs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

L: Pours a foggy orange with a decent egg shell colored head, leaving a nice oily film on the glass. Awesome.
S: Pine and tropical fruit.
T: A malty sweetness and hints tropical fruit.
F: Oily and well carbonated.
O: Terrific, but I think I'll take 1ZNuff next time.
