16 oz. Can
Canned On: 10/23/19

Poured into a Trillium glass a pretty nice cloudy yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, guava, mango, peach, apricot, grapefruit), pretty nice diesel like. The taste is pretty nice hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, guava, mango, peach, apricot, grapefruit), pretty nice diesel like. Medium body, ABV hidden very nicely, with a nice little dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a pretty tasty brew. Orange Julius! Addictive! MilkShake! Nice to see it around here.

 

 

a little milky and sloppy looking from the tap, yellow and starchy, and the ferment isnt as clean as it is in the best of their beers. theres some nelson pushing through, mostly in the aroma, but its a citra and mosaic base, and as such, is samey, even generic a little bit, and this ends up being one of the less refined and distinctive revision beers in recent memory, which is not to say its bad, not at all, its fresh, liberally hopped, and the nelson features that remain are downright lovely, but the mosaic has a catty thing, the citra is a little sharp, and the whole thing feels filling for no reason, like its not like the yeast or grain add a lot of flavor to this, its all weight, i dont love the design, but i know some folks want them looking and feeling like this. i do like there being a little bitterness to it, and there are some cool fruity nuances from the hops, orange taffy, crushed pineapple, and raw coconut, even a white wine note as it warms some. if this came from another brewery i might be a little more lenient with it, its got some upside, but i have come to expect a lot more from revision, and know them to be capable of an entirely higher level than this. perhaps better from the can than from the tap, i will find out...

 

 

 

16 oz can from Boise Coop. Pale golden, cloudy, thick foamy head. Citrusy aroma with hints of white bread. Taste is more of the ctrus, grapefruit, lemon, with some milkshake notes. Bitter sting up front, milkt sweetness after.

Tasted in a Spiegelau IPA glass from a one pint can on December 30, 2019. Boogie on down and hop on board the Boogie Bus. Only 6% ABV, smooth as silk and packed full of tropical hop flavor. Citra and Mosaic are the rhythm section grooving the backbeat while Nelson Sauvin hops rip a guitar solo over top.

 

Can poured into a Russian River Brewing Co pub glass

A: Pours hazy golden amber with a frothy off white head that settles to a firm layer and laces very nicely.

S: Bright Nelson fruitiness, white grape and gooseberry especially, followed by a mix of tropical, citrus, and stone fruit, a touch of pine, biscuity malt, and

T: Big kick of Nelson up front, white grape, gooseberry, and diesel, zesty citrus, lime, lemon, and tangerine, tropical fruit, guava, apricot, peach, mango, and passion fruit, a touch of pine, biscuity malt, and caramel sweetness.

M: Just a touch on the lighter side of medium body, moderate carbonation, soft on the palate.

O: Probably my favorite Revision beer to date. They worked their magic and got the best out of a great hop combo. I feel like it could be even better if they bumped it up to IPA strength, but as a pale it's hard to beat.

Picked this up at Windmill Farms along with four other beers for a Sunday rating, but never ended up getting to them because of work. Instead, waited until Friday to get after them. Could’ve sworn I had this one before, but I guess not. Can description read, “Hop on board the Boogie Bus, smooth as silk and packed full of groovy hop flavor. Citra and Mosaic are the rhythm section laying down the backbeat while Nelson Sauvin hops from New Zealand rip a funky saxophone solo over top. Drink up and get down!” Citra, Mosaic AND Nelson? Man, Revision and this description? Must be a killer.

Poured a medium yellow-to-gold semi-hazy color with four fingers of rocky white head. Lots of bubble steams coming up along the sides of the glass, looking like a snow globe. Excellent lacing. Almost perfect retention. (Sight - 4.75)

Smelled pretty damn good. In order got the mentioned hops of Citra, Mosaic and Nelson. Also floral, mixed berry, stone fruit, peach, apricot, tangerine, orange and guava. Surprisingly not as good from the can with the three hops coming in hot along with stone fruit. (Smell - 4.50)

Taste followed this nose, almost as good. Really flavorful. In order got Citra, Nelson, Mosaic, stone fruit, apricot, peach, tangerine, orange juice, guava, mixed berry and floral. (Taste - 4.25)

Medium body. Oily texture. Average carbonation. Long, juicy texture. (Overall - 4.25)

Just an awesome beer. May be my favorite hazy Revision yet. (Overall - 4.50)

Poured from a can -looks like a lot of other Revision hazies ,murky like unfiltered citrus juice with a short white head leaving some spotty lacing. Nose is big and juicy, lots of fruit with some resiny dank. Taste follows- this is seriously hop forward but finishes a little thin. Really tasty stuff for a 6% brew.

 

I grabbed a can out of the singles at the local quickie mart on way home. I had no idea that this was going to be one of the best hazy ales I’ve tasted. Three Magnates ( my fav NW brewery) had a Happy Dankday brew that was similar with a 9% abv. , and I think that the lower alcohol level of the BB is better for the overall mingling of the feel and flavors of these delicious and highly satisfying hops

 

 

Decent citrusy nose but taste seemed a bit muddled and finish was watery. Alcohol taste left in mouth...not a fave for me.
