Planetary Fog
Revision Brewing Company

Its always a treat to find a Revision IPA I've never tried, this one is very solid and enjoyable; ample haze on the yellow-gold pour. Juicy and smooth with lots of citrus and a hint of bready biscuit; smooth.

 

16 oz can from Brewers Haven. Pale golden , hazy, patchy head. Juicy, tropical fruit aroma. Taste is morecsmooth fruity glavors, mango, guava, papaya. A small sting of bitterness at the finish. Tasty AF. Incredibly smooth for a DIPA.

its just amazing to me the amount of awesome ipa these guys make, i mean, they have new ones seemingly every week, yet they all seem to me distinct and unique to themselves, crazy! this one is real nice, kind of just short of a double in strength, but hopped full on like a double, big and dry hoppy, but also with some bitterness, and this is the kind of hazy i like to drink, with a little bite at the end and well refined, without the green sloppiness. a little muted looking in the glass, high headed from the can, lasting foam and lots of bubbles. aroma to me is driven by the mosaic and citra in that it seems fruity and familiar, i get less of what i have come to expect from galaxy, but some hints of lime and melon suggest others beyond the citra and mosaic for sure. light pine in here too to me, and a curious light vanilla bean flash, maybe something in the malt doing that. the flavor really pops, its awesome how forward the hops are, how early they start in, this is hardly ever grainy even though it has some body, a little earthy wheat backing perhaps, but its all about the hops. pineapple and grass up front, more citrus later on, meyer lemon and tangerine and even green grape, really good. a little snap of bitterness comes in on the carbonation, and it finishes quickly and drier for what it is. overall an excellent ipa, not their most radical, but its nice to have one here that i want to drink a bunch of. freshness on point here too. i pretty much am buying any new revision beers i see at this point, they have earned my stoke!

 

Looks pale for a NE IPA. Smell of tropical fruit. Taste is hop forward with a ton of pine. Taste is much bolder than the smell. Another great beer from Revision.

 

A hazy fruity well balanced mouthful of tropical fruits and danky stardust. Easy to quaff. Low bitterness.

Golden hazy with lots of carbonation and 2 fingers of off white head.

Smells of pineapple, caramel and a hint of dankness.

Tastes of pineapple, a hint of dankness and cigarette butts.

Medium to light body with moderate to low carbonation.

I got this in Reno a month ago and am drinking it in Redding, Sept 2nd, 2019.

 

 

 

Canned on June 11th, enjoyed on July 4th - poured from a tall-boy into my Bruery tulip.

Hazy mango body with a half finger of suds; thin sandy lacing; average retention.

Passion fruit, pineapple, green onion, and hints of citrus and cannabis in the nose. Fruity, tropical, and slightly herbaceous.

Sweet palate entry with a low but persistent bitterness and a faintly catty savory note (mint more than urea) leading into the medium-dry finish. Neutral yeast and malt bill let the hops come through, but there is something muddled about this ale despite this.

Warming and faintly chalky - not as refreshing as you might expect.

Good to very good on the key metrics, this is still somewhat disappointing from a brewery that I know is capable of knocking it out of the park on occasion.

Revision obviously kills the New England Style, so I was excited to see this in stores and see that I hadn’t had it yet. It called for Amarillo, Mosaic, Citra & Galaxy, three of my five-favorite hops or so and Galaxy. Full description on the can was, “A big bang of Amarillo, Mosaic, Citra, and Galaxy hops in every vessel. This beer's gravitational force thrusts pizza and beer lovers around the Northeastern dimension and straight into a Planetary Fog. Cheers!”

Poured a medium yellow hazy color with three fingers of rocky white head. Lots of fast-moving bubbles coming up along the sides of the glass. Almost perfect spiderweb foamy lacing. Perfect retention. (Sight - 5.00)

Mosaic jumped out first on the nose. Also Amarillo, orange creamsicle, Citra, peach, stone fruit, Galaxy, passion fruit, papaya, lactose (not mentioned anywhere though), mango and guava. More Citra, Mosaic and Amarillo from the can. Really good on the nose. (Smell - 4.25)

Tasted close to as good on the nose. Got Mosaic, mango, stone fruit, guava, papaya, Citra, Amarillo, tangerine, orange, grapefruit, peach, apricot and floral. (Taste - 4.25)

Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long, juicy finish. (Feel - 4.50)

Just a wonderful beer. Near the top for sure as far as Revision beers. (Overall - 4.25)
