A - Orange body, crystal clear, with a big white head that fades quickly to a thin cap, and extensive lacing, both tight bubble and ropy lacing.
S - Pine. A bit of pith. Orange zest. Fresh, clean, bright, resin-filled hops.
T - Follows the nose, with a strong pine and resin line, a bit of citrus and pith coupling with lightly sweet malts, and a strong bitter streak in the close.
M - Brisk open, and sharp dry close.
O - Lovely hop forward beer, with just enough malts to keep it all balanced and drinkable. Bitterness is full and rich, but steps back just before it becomes taxing. Very well done.

Pretty plain. Not bad not great. Smells a little like rusty Chicago pipes. Nice head.

Fan of Revolution.
This one dank.
a) Low Carb, gold body, scant head and lace.
s / t ) Builds up from initial citrus and pine to earthy, floral, scatty notes. Plenty of malt backdrop.
f) Slick, sticky with dry finish.
o) Even keeled, and nicely hopped / balanced for long term drinking pleasure.

Poured from a 12oz can into a tulip at 40 degrees
Look: Pours a clear, medium everescent orange color with a strong, tall foamy and bubbly head that overwhelms the glass.
Smell: Strong dank herbal and pine aromas. Aroma of grapefruit, pine and some tropical fruit notes is the forefront. Definitely some tropical orange and pineapple citrus. But damn it is more herbal and maybe some marijuana notes than usual.
Taste: Strong hop flavors of grapefruit, citrus and pine come forward. Some floral qualities. This is followed by a heavily bitter and dry hop finish. Little to no malt sweetness, but some honey biscuit malt is present.
Feel: Crisp, bitter, and spicy. Impressively carbonated leaving a light, dry body. The bitter hops can pleasantly linger on the tongue.
Overall: This is an excellent example of a West-Coast IPA from Revolution. We knew what we were walking into. Robust in flavor and bitterness. Hoppy, bitter, spicy flavors of floral and pine with no malt presence. Made with the 4 C hops this one is your old-school Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on steroids. Grapefruit and strong, dank, piney herbal hops. Extremely tasty. It's so great, for you west-coast hopheads, Highly recommend!
