Our collaboration with Revolution Brewpub was brewed with Vienna malts, lightly hopped, and then lagered at near freezing for two months. Malty, crisp, and frighteningly drinkable for its weight. You may say it's 'Revolutionary!'

Had on tap. Clear orangey amber with a off-white cap. Toasty and caramel malts lead the nose with bread with floral accents. Taste sees the bread be more buttery biscuit, floral accents pickup, springy grains as well. Feel is crisp after a smooth yet interesting texture with various malt tones. Brighter feel, more grains but it works.

On-tap at Haymarket. Served in a 5oz taster near to Revolution's version.
A - White foam settles to a near-complete cap, leaving behind a few specks of lace. Transparent golden body.
S - Sharp, earthy hops top a toasted grain and bready malt backdrop. Nothing super-exciting, but fairly true to style.
T - The flavor loses some of the sharp, twang to it, with a buttered biscuit pilsener malt backdrop, and mild hop bitterness. Clean finish, and no alcohol presence.
M - Medium carbonation, medium body, toasty texture, and a lightly sticky finish. No perceptible alcohol warmth.
D - This has never been my favorite style, and this largely meets my expectations. The Haymarket version seemed quite traditional, and comes off a bit better than the Revolution version that had some weird flavors going on.
