Revolution Anti-Hero IPA

Chicago Beer Review #2:


Revolution Anti-Hero IPA. Keep cold. Fresh beer. Brewed in Chicago.
Had this yesterday at Revolution in Chicago, loved my pint, brought a 6-pack of cans home, drinking one now.

Revolution Anti-Hero IPA. 6% ABV, 62 IBU. Revolution Brewing, Chicago, Illinois.

Hazed orange/amber appearance, short head stays long, floats lace, looking good.

Aroma: Ahhh! Beautiful! Tangerine, grapefruit, pine, a spritz of lemon. A trickle of pine. A little floral. Right on the money. With a touch of honey. Gorgeous.

Taste: MMMM! More on the money. Smooth entry on the palate. In the mouth, it's a medium bitterness, with just enough malt to bring on the sweetness and keep this what I call yummy. It's a good drinker, not too full, not too strong, not too anything. Except for all the ways that it's exceptionally everything. A big jolt of bitter, a gentle flash of fruit, and plenty of malt to keep it tasty. This I like. I've got a few more cans that will be taken down with the greatest of ease.

Our flagship IPA is supremely aromatic, crisp, and drinkable. This iconic ale features a blend of Citra, Crystal, Centennial, and Chinook to create a crisp clean bitterness and imparts massive floral and citrus aromas.

An American hop assault for all the ambivalent warriors who get the girl in the end. “Look, I ain't in this for your revolution, and I'm not in it for you, Princess.”
