Infinity-Hero
Revolution Brewing

12oz. can pours a hazy dark orange with medium sized off-white head that recedes to a ring with good lacing. Aroma has tangerine, orange peel, and other citrus, with noticeable caramel malts providing contrast. Despite juicy flavors, the taste is bitter, but certainly not punishing. Body is medium with lively carbonation and a slightly slick mouthfeel. Quite enjoyable and drinkable.

Look: s r m is a six It's got some protein haze certainly not clear... I'm not sure if the grain bill is pure barley or if there's some additives It's advertised as a juicy But then again juicy can also be hazy to a degree... If I'm correct juicing this comes from the hops.... an additional protein in the grain bill sometimes from wheat or oats. so The juiciness is definitely from the hops and the smoothness coming from the grain bill and the yeast... But it's not over the top like a double l

Smell: citrus grapefruit orange lemon tropical I guess that's what you call juicy that's an education

Taste it's soft it's juicy taste of grapefruit orange orange peel.. So there could be some wheat and oats in there but it's a juicy not hazy... Full of consciousness I've got three going here

Mouth feel ABV 7.0 alcohol is present a bitter stop but a sweetness on the mouth and a fruity character... I'd say medium body balance and soft finish later bitterness... But always some sweetness juicy that's the name juicy

Overall this is really drinkable not too bitter not too sweet not too juicy a little tang It rests well on the pallet...

Overall Orange and citrus lead the aroma... Sweetness very pleasant... Elite bitter invites another sip It's smooth I would call it a hazy not juicy... But s*** it says juicy right on the can So maybe it's my terminology

 

A - Pours a hazy dark orange body, with a decent dense white head, fading to a thin cap, and outrageously thick lacing curtaining the glass.

S - Orange creme and pithy zest notes, a bit of grass, floral notes and sharp earthy hops.

T - Stronger tangerine and orange citrus flavors, a bit of sugary sweet, candied zest notes in the middle, and a bitter pith finish.

M - Moderate weight and carbonation, dry on the tongue, and slow building resin weight that lingers.

O - I enjoy the Hero series, and this is a solid version. I suspect this might have faded a bit, but when you get a chance to try something new for you, you take it.

12oz can. Poured out a slightly cloudy golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. It left sudsy lacing. It smelled of orange, pineapple, caramel and pine. Sweet fruity/juicy taste with toasted caramel and a sharp bitterness.

I'm re-visiting Revolution's Hero line (instead of buying the whole sampler box which might take a year for me to finish.)
I just finished Hazy Hero, which I much prefer to Infinity. But conceptually, Infinity makes a lot of sense. (and for this, I give Huge Overall Hugs.) Why not try to merge the two styles? Why shouldn't bitter and fruity be in the same beer? After all, we've created some 120+ styles: why not find similarities and consolidate? Is this style atomization forever going to collide and divide? Or will we start to synthesize styles and become more wholistic? Well.... like a lot of revolutionary ideas, you don't make it work the first time.

So it is with Infinity-Hero. While this one Looks great (active foam and lace around), its Smells are mute. Tastes also are indistinct until the bitter finish takes over and it tries to get semi-dry; but we never achieve balance. Medium-mouthed.

Onward I go, in search of yet another Hero.
