Revolution Arcade Hero IPA

 Revolution Arcade Hero IPA.

8.8% ABV. “A pixilated punch of hops.” Revolution Brewing, Chicago, Illinois. 

Clear, bright golden color, moderate layer of ivory froth atop.

In the nose: slightly floral, mostly pine and citrus, touch of tropical. 

In the mouth: bitter dry, bursting with hoppy goodness at play on the palate. Medium bodied and packed with citrusy delights.  Refreshingly quenchable, while unrepentantly bitter. IPA the way it was meant to be. 

This was found in the current League of Heroes 12-pack, which also included Anti Hero, a new “cold IPA” and a new hazy IPA. I wrote about Anti Hero many years ago and consider it one of my favorite IPAs. I no longer find that I have anything to say about the hazies or the colds. 

Hit the start button and speedrun a sparkling-clear Hero that leaves the high scores filled with REV in every spot. An unstoppable dry hop combo spawns all the berry, orange, tangerine, and pear sprites you can handle.
