Revision California Distribution (2019)

Whats the word on Citra Slam? Has anyone had it? Sounds promising.

 

Did you make it back??? How was the trip up to Reno?

 

Initially thought you said was ihop that caused the issue with the plane's toilet and thought 'makes sense'. Lol

 

Has anybody had their BA Finite Madness?

 

Had this last night:



This is my 2nd experience with Revision. I gotta be honest... I did not enjoy Planetary Fog. Turned me off of trying any of their other beers.

But this one I've been wanting to try and I saw it at the local store. I am not particular a fan of weed, but I love the weed-like flavors in beers - my favorite being Lagunitas' SuperCritical (which actually has cannabis extract).

I wish I could have tried this fresh on 4/20. But even with a month+ of age, I was pleasantly surprised by this. Initial taste is pretty standard WCIPA stuff. A little floral, restrained-but-there malt. But then when you get to the mid-palate & finish, the green vegetal flavors come alive. If anything, this gave me a tea vibe more than any other beer I've had. And I kinda liked it. Will definitely be seeking this next 4/20.

 

Yes, PF was the only beer I'd had from them. But here's the thing.

A number of people said that Planetery Fog was their favorite Revision beer (from my conversations with random people), so if that's the pinnacle of their haze, I just stayed away from their beers.

So maybe I'll try another hazy. I'll definitely try another WC from them though.

 

Haven't we already established that your palate is the opposite of the status quo here?

 

Picked up a 6 pack (12oz) of the standard Revision IPA last night. One of my go to (West Coast) shelfies for everyday drinking right now. In most supermarkets around here now.

 

Do you find that their beers fall off noticeably in a month or so? I haven't paid close attention to the dates on the sixers I've bought because we get them so rarely and they move so fast I have just assumed some degree of freshness

 

I don't think their WCIPAs fall off any in a month or two, and I drink a lot of their regular IPA & DIPA. Even before in the bottles when they were harder to find, I'd drink 4-5 month old ones that still taste great.

I wouldn't say the same for theirs or anyone's hazy/NEIPAs though.

 

Disco Ninja was excellent, Battle of the Lords and Gimme da Loot were solid too. I feel Revision does a great job of throwing in a west coast taste in their NE ipas. I try to pick them up when i see them.

 

Agree on Gimme da Loot, but I didn't enjoy battle of the the lords that much.

There was only 1 4 pack left of Sparkle Muffin left and I was curious why. I never had it before. But after tasting it, realized I was missing out. It was/is delicious. Like it as much as I enjoyed Revisions' Distance Haze; which so far is my favorite from them.

 

After having a not-so-great review of Planetary Fog, I haven't really sought out Revision's brews...came across and tried Baggage Wagon and Elevation Calculation and was impressed by both! Both were very crushable and enjoyable...soft on the palate hazies at 8+% ABV...Hopefully, I can find more that are like this from them. I had Pour Decisions and Leafy Greens and while decent enough and enjoyable, I wasn't overly impressed by them...

 

Happy to see the Disco crowd showing up again in So Cal.

Cheers,

 

Staff of Life is legit! Dated 6/5/19. Not too sweet but intense with the NE style. Got two 4-packs and wanting more.

 

Just the purest expression of Citra, dang this is so good.

Cheers,

 

ISO! Bottle date?

 

Here you go, 5-31-19

Cheers,

 

Disco all over NORCAL as well right now. Seen Planetary Fog and a few others also.

 

Also...... another dark beer to look forward to soon..... BA Separation Stout

 

Hell Ya, citra revenge is the bomb. Definitely be on the look out

 

So how have the barrel aged stouts been? Worth the price of admission?

 

Where did you get them from?

 

Well, guess I shouldn't have stopped to check into my hotel room before stopping by revision. Had no idea they closed at 7 lol

 

Wondering, for those in Sac area, where you've come across Citra Revenge? Hit my usual spots West of the Causeway with no luck.

 

Not Sac, but I bought a bottle in Modesto last Thursday. Our Revision schedule is usually more spotty compared to Sac stores, so it's strange you're not seeing any up there. Saw some bottles in Napa this weekend as well.

 

Seems like every few months...... BUT another EXPANSION..... I guess things are going well.

 

I had the BA Finite Madness a few months ago, believe it was 24.99.

I really enjoyed it, it was big, bold, roasty and viscous.
Had a dark chocolate/molasses balance going on.

I'd say pick one up if you see it!

 

I got my hands on the 2018 BBA Finite Madness at a random bottle shop near Tahoe. It was really really good, exactly what I want out of an imperial Stout with no additions. Definitely going to try to get my hands on more if I can find it in the City. Hopefully the separation Stout will turn up in the City at well.

 

Mystic Topaz! This is pretty good! The swallow is not as soft as I like for my palate, but, for a single, it has decent depth and feel. Good!

 

Do they have food at the brewery or can anyone recommend anything in the neighborhood?

 

Liquor Warehouse is closing next month. Apparently they've been around for 50 years.
