Pours out of the can a slightly cloudy pinkish salmon color with minimal head. Smells tangy and fruity. Tastes like sour berries and is very nice. Pretty great on a hot day.

 

 

 

 

 

12 oz. can, filled June 24, 2022. Acquired a single can of this stuff as part of a mixed six pack at the local Binny's. "Session sour with currants".

Poured to clear stemless wine snifter.
Pours what appears to be a murky purple-tinged burnt orange colored body with a fat finger's worth of fluffy frothy white foam head that leaves good strands of lacing on the way down. Looks pretty nice.
Aroma is musty & yeasty, with notes of funk & bacteria. Subtle notes of grain, cream, & vinous fruit. I'll have to go 3 on the nose because it is pretty faint & far away, but it is what it is.
Flavor profile is hugely grapey, not exactly sour, but there is slight tart, notes of funk, yeast, & bacterial finish. The currants actually work really well with this, they impart a ton of fruit flavor - flavors of dark grape juice, blackberry, raspberry. Super unique.
Light-bodied, crisp carbonation, & easy-drinking stuff with a modest 4.50% abv. Super crushable, though I can't see myself wanting more than one of these in a session to be fair.
Overall, excellent. Possibly my first beer to include currants, and extremely well-executed at that. Recommended.

Revolution Brewing Freedom Of Press -----4/5.

 

Pours a pinkish, ruby color. Cloudy and opaque. Two finger pink tinged head. The head dissolves leaving just a thin layer of foam on the top of the beer. Aroma has notes of berries, currants, and dark fruits. Notes of wheat, yogurt and some light lemon-y citrus come through.

Taste follows the nose with light notes of currants and berries, wheat, yogurt and some light lemon citrus notes. Its bright, lively and refreshing. Feel is light with moderate carbonation. Semi-dry finish.

overall it is another delicious fruited sour. The mixed 12-pack of session sours from Revolution is one of the best lineups of fruited sours from any brewery. Along with the special one off releases, it is a stellar lineup contributing to a superior lineup across the board from them.

 

 

 

 

Great mouthfeel and vaguely currant flavor. Nice slightly sour taste. The mouth feel is medium bodied and somewhat heavy on the tongue. Despite the light flavour I really enjoy it, I think the "session" descriptor is accurate. Nice acidity in the aftertaste. Really just a pleasant low ABV sour all around.

 

 

 

 

Extremely sour, but I like it that way. Frothy, lingering head, pinkish-coppery color, exquisite sour taste. Very sessionable, but quite sour.
