Lead Dog Brewing

Pours a light amber color, clarity ain't this beer's strong suit, although I don't think much is. Thin 1/5" off white head. The aroma wasn't hoppy. Smelled like one of those kid's juice pouches that is 0% juice and lots of sugar. Perhaps the commercial tug job about 'double dry hop' was literal, in that they added 'two' hop cones, one each per dry hop session. I dunno.

Taste, doesn't taste like an ipa, hops are virtually absent from the ol nose and mouth detectors. Tastes like something made for someone who doesn't like beer, much less hops. There is a much greater kids orange drink vibe than anything blueberry here. It hides the alcohol decently, probably the best thing this beer does, besides offer up a drink that doesn't taste like beer for people who need more than hops, yeast, malt and water.

Seems like it has the Revision name on it, but none of the Revision attributes in an ipa, this is all Lead Dog on this offering. Hard pass even if no 'off' flavors, these aren't the ipa flavors/droids I'm looking for.

Pours a murky dirty orange color with slight bubbly head that quickly dissipates .Nose is all citrusy blood orange. Taste follows with a slight hint of imaginary blueberry. Mostly one dimensional and seriously orangey. Could be substituted for a mimosa at Sunday brunch.

No canned date, but recently released

Appearance - Pours murky and dirty orange with a thin, off-white head. Not much retention, with mostly barren surface as the end result. No lacing save a few small dots.

Smell - Blood orange. Pure blood orange.

Taste - Prominent and thorough blood orange character upfront and throughout, and though it's a complete experience from the juicy flavor right down to the bitter skin, it's a slightly muted flavor; like 4 or 5 on a 10 scale. Blueberry is an afterthought; it might even be some of the force behind killing some of that blood orange, but the actual blueberry flavor you might expect is quite distant and doesn't show much before the aftertaste. Orange pith, muted but prevalent, in the finish.

Mouthfeel - Medium-to-full in body with low, slightly tingly carbonation. Slightly chalky texture with a semi-dry finish.

Overall - Lead Dog's milkshake releases continue to be a roller coaster of highs and lows when it comes to consistency. While not a terrible beer, it's about on par with the equally disappointing Razzle Dazzle, and it fails when compared to Oranges are Orange and their more recent Island Haze. Vanilla in these milkshakes seem a logical must, but many are brewed without, and that's not a comment solely directed at Lead Dog. I know this is technically a collab with Revision, but it seems like Lead Dog had final say on this guy. It's good, but it's a strange punch of muted blood orange; like taking a shotgun blast to the chest with bullet-proof vest on.

Pours hazy, cloudy, murky light brown with a nice head that left ok lacing. Looks like grapefruit juice.

Aroma is primarily strong, bright, sweet blood oranges.

Taste pretty much follows, pick up a little bit of blueberries here to add some depth to the fruitiness.

Feel is smooth, medium, super low carbonation, very low bitterness. Basically drinks like spiked juice.

Overall, probably my best experience with a milkshake IPA thus far, but overall I prefer regular West Coast and hazies to this milkshake type.
