Double Dry-Hopped Mega-Hero 2
Revolution Brewing

One of the best from Revolution. Hits all the marks and is just plain delicious. I wish this was regularly available.

 

Tasted in a tulip glass from draft at The Vine on December 4, 2021.

Pint can dated Oct 13, so coming up on two months old, but this is still quite possibly my favorite Revolution hazy IPA yet. Plenty of fluffy head on the pour, with bursts of mandarin orange, pineapple, and white peach that immediately hit the nose. Very fruity palate without verging into too sweet, very slight hop burn to remind you there's some underlying bitterness, and a pillowy soft texture.

16oz can
filled OCT/13/2021
L: hazed yellow-orange body, frothy off-white head slowly fades to a foam
S: fresh pineapple, tropical fruit, citrus
T: mega juicy hop flavors: pineapple, floral grapefruit, orange juice, passion fruit, coconut notes come through as it warms
F: full body, soft carbonation, modest bitterness with plenty of juicy sweetness on the finish; 9% sneaks up on you
O: just when I think I’m getting sick of DDH hazies, Revolution brews this. This one sticks out as being unique in a style of beers that all start to taste the same after awhile. Worth getting if you see it

Pours a nicely hazy orange color with a creamy white head that laces the glass beautifully. The nose is ripe oranges, some grapefruit, and a nice dollop of coconut.

The oranges and grapefruit are forward, but it’s the coconut that adds an exotic twist to this big ol’ DDH DIPA (9% ABV) that sets it apart from the other juice bombs, IMHO.

Rev’s barrel program is notably world class, and their hop game is on point as well.
