Delicious stuff. Aromas and flavors of light tart lemon, lime, grapefruit, tangerine, peach, pineapple, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, berry, green apple, and citrus peel/zest hops; with moderate wheat, white bready malts; light lacto funk, floral/grassy hop, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate lactic tartness and mild floral/grassy hop bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; balanced bready/grainy malt and lactic acid in the mouthfeel. Slight sticky hops. Light-moderate increasing acidic dryness, no pucker. Very flavorful/refreshing, 5%. Pretty tame for a kettle sour, but I am definitely a fan; adequately tart. Very approachable with nice citrus/tropical hop complexity, balanced Lacto and pale/wheat malts. Very well made. Will grab again while it's around.


Outstanding IPA. Aromas and flavors of big tangerine, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, citrus zest, and light pepper/pine hops; with moderate honey, biscuit, light caramel malt balance; and herbal, floral, grassy hop earthiness. Mild pine, zesty, herbal, grassy bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; nice creamy/bready/grainy malt mouthfeel with some hop stickiness. Lightly increasing lingering bitter dryness. Refreshingly drinkable from the mild bitter finish. 7.3%. This drinks exactly like an NEIPA, did not expect that initially. Super juicy Citra hop complexity with a nice bready malt backbone. Glad these are year round available, fan of all of their beers so far.


Fantastic Belgian pale ale. Flavors of peach, mango, pineapple, apricot, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, pear, apple, pepper, clove, and light banana/bubblegum/pine; with balanced honey, biscuity malts; herbal, floral, grassy hops; and yeasty earthiness. Light-moderate peppery yeast spiciness; light pine/grassy bitterness, and yeast tang/tartness on the finish. Medium-plus carbonation, medium body, and moderately crisp finishing. Bready/grainy malts and some sticky hops in the mouthfeel. Light-moderate increasing spicy/carbonated dryness. Refreshingly drinkable, 6.8%. Wow, I will definitely be picking this up again. Awesome balance of juicy hop/yeast flavors; with a nice bready malt backbone. Spot on for the style, aside from the use of American hops. I am a huge fan of pretty much all of Revolution's beers, regardless of style.


Last year's batch is tasting fantastic. Flavors of huge milk/dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, caramel, molasses, smoke, charcoal, toasted biscuit, and nutty malts; with some herbal, woody, piney hops. Light-moderate roast/char and woody/spicy/piney hop bitterness on the finish. Creamy/silky medium-full body; with lighter chalky char/roast and sticky hop balance. Lightly increasing hop/roast/char bitter dryness, never acrid/astringent. Super smooth, minimal warming 8.2%. On the roasty side for a Porter, but nails all of the biscuity/nutty/sweet dark malt complexity I expected. Well hopped, but not overdone. Fits more of an American porter profile, with English influence. Been finding some random lingering singles around. Over 13 months old now, but still spot on. Hope this lands on the calendar later this year.
