    Haven’t had Distant Haze. But if I was in that store I would definitely buy all 3 times 2. If you haven’t had much Revision beers, it’s more hits than misses for sure. And that goes for both their haze and clear ipa’s. Good luck. :wink:

    Two of those three are milkshake IPAs, not really my thing. I liked Distance Haze OK, but its not in my top tier of Revision haze. YMMV

    I've had a fair amount of them but not any of these 3. The most recent one I had was Planetary Fog, which I enjoyed quite a bit. Looks like from this thread, their lactose IPA's aren't thought of quite as high.

    Depends on what you like. If you like lactose implemented in an IPA, Citra City is worthy of a pick up. I think it's pretty great.
    I've yet to try Mindful Fermentation, but I would get it for the sake of trying it.
    Distance Haze is one of my all-time favorites from Revision, so it goes without saying that I think you should give it a go.

    Sorry this didn't load. I would put Distance Haze at the top of the list. Then Mindful ferm then I guess citra city. Didn't realize Mindful Ferm had lactose. Citra City was pretty good in my opinion, and I'm not the biggest fan of lactose IPAs.

    Distance Haze is one of my personal favorites. It is not as juicy as other Revision NE offerings, but damn I think it's great.

    Drinking my last can of this. I think we all can appreciate how damn good it is.

    Just picked up a bomber of Hangry. So excited for a new West Coast TIPA by these guys. Anyone try it yet?

    This last batch of Planet Lovetron is fantastic.

    Picked up a State of Haze today, although it was apparently canned a month ago

    Just as amazing as the first time from this summer. I would say this is my favorite Revision single hazy and Elevation Calculation is my favorite double hazy of theirs.

    Mindful Fermentation was pretty delicious too, Citra & Simcoe DIPA hazy. It's hazy, not cloudy - milk sugar added just the right amount of sweetness, though I would not call this a milkshake IPA.

    I was just about to pick it up but balked at the $12 price and got a sixer of Revision IPA instead. Please let us know you how you liked it.

    @BayAreaJoe Haha np. Yeah, the price was a bit off-putting, though I got it for $11. I will definitely report back in a couple of days after I open it. Cheers!

    I was just thinking how revisions west coast bottles and cans remind me of the OG knee deep west coast IPA I'd seek out in 2011, 2012. Jeremy is the man

    Picked up State of Haze and Planet Lovetron yesterday. State of Haze was very good. First can of Planet Lovetron was rather offputting, super buttery in a not enjoyable way. I hope it was just that can and the others are good.

    Sounds like your can of Planet Lovetron had diacetyl in it. If another can gives you a similar experience, I would contact Revision.

    I saw a comment on diacetyl for Planetary Fog, but not for Planet Lovetron, perhaps I missed it.

    My bad, guess literacy didn't accompany me to work today.

    Seems everyone moved on to the next big thing since Revision is now on the shelves everywhere.

    I find myself going back to more of the Rev West Coast beers lately. Crisp and clear.

    I’m with you. Seeing Revision clear IPA’s and DIPA’s cans in OC. Still in search of a 5gal of the IPA.
