Lettuce Believe It
Revision Brewing Company

Another four pack picked up recently, can't resist a Revision beer hopped with Nelson, was a mandatory purchase essentially. Fave hop, fave in state brewery. 1

Pours a hazy ish yellow leaning on the ligher side of even the lightest dipas in 2025. Get all your barley out of here, we're not going for balance. The aroma delightfully throws plenty of Nelson around. They call it diesel and gooseberry, and while I'm yet to be exposed to a gooseberry, the diesel, white grape mid fermentation feels and down under dank was in full effect.

The taste hit those dope Revision hop notes, no skimping on Nelson here. Cashmere I think gives it a light green tug, Simcoe the icy flip side of that bitterness pine like tug. The body and mouthfeel keep a hearty bitterness around but not the ibu war levels of grating. Its not a thickboy flocc crushed oat wheat trubby time. Don't bogart that Nelson hop my friend, pass it over to me. The greenery involved here flirted with wet hop or Sabro like territory. Vegetal is an apt descriptor. I dug it.

wanted to love this one, expected to, but my pour was whack, possibly in the line for awhile, maybe this is just real old, but on tap at their joint taproom with lead dog i thought i would have caught it a little closer to its ideal form, not so. lightly hazy, a little lighter and more pale than expected from the tap, some churned up white head on it, i think light in alcohol and body overall too for what it is, those elements are successful, but it just doesnt taste very good to me. i get some of that underripe fruit in the nose, green melon rind, green gooseberry, tart apple, but it also has a little compositing thing going on, maybe a hint of sulfur, wet dog, laundry thats been left in the machine way too long, that sort of thing, neither grainy nor boozy, but still not appealing in the aroma really, like the ferment is whack or like this has been sitting too long. the flavor is similar, actually a hint of coconut, white grape, and even jasmine in this, and there is a flash where it seems bright and new, but weird yeastiness and tiredness come in quickly, light white peach, vegetal character and some bite, unclean to me, denatured, broken down. not sure what happened here, and i will reserve harsher judgement until i can try this again, but the hops are weird and not really recognizable in this, the yeast has done something strange, and something just has to be off with this. hope to find a can soon to compare...
