Pixelated Stargazer
Revision Brewing Company

16oz can from Homebrewstuff. Hazy yellow body with an orange core, thin creamy white head. Citrusy, grapefruit peel. Taste adds orange and tangerine notes, zesty, orange pith. Dry at the finish leaves you picking your gums. Smooth,

been awhile since i had a new ipa from these guys, they used to come into idaho fast and furious and i was a lush for all of them, good to score a new one, and its really great, a top ipa from this weekend, a weekend in which i drank an absolute ton of good beer. motueka doing the heavy lifting to me, with super fresh tasting citra and mosaic as well, and they have captured the best of all three varietals and their many synergies in this most drinkable hazy. its one of those ultra modern takes that makes me wonder if some hop product is in here in addition to pellets, it starts so early, is so saturated and pungent, even candied, but never green or harsh or overdone, really quite refined, impressive and i would love to know more. nose and taste of fresh cracked coconut, sliced pineapple, tangerine, and orange candy, along with soft lemongrass, lime leaf, and even vanilla, some incredible freshness on this, almost no bitterness either, and its long on the palate without being heavy, a rare feat in this style unfortunately. there is some sweetness this which makes the hops wider and longer and i dig that, it doesnt slow this down at all. the grain bill has to feature some wheat and oats, its downright creamy textured, perfect for these hops. some lime on the finish, peppy and jubilant, frothy churning carbonation keeps it moving, slightly oily still but never aggressive. wonderful beer overall, a heck of a showcase of motueka and really also of citra in a supporting role, so good. revision keep churning out winners!

 

 

Pours very hazy from a 16oz can, capped with a foamy white head. The hop profile is citrusy and dank, with flavors and aromas of tangerine, lemon, and lime...chewy and dry on the finish. Decent.
