Firestone Walker Luponic Distortion Revolving Hop Series Revolution No. 009 IPA

Firestone Walker Luponic Distortion Revolving Hop Series Revolution No. 009. Firestone Walker Brewing, Paso Robles, CA. 5.9% ABV, 59 IBU.

Crystal clear, bright golden color, beautiful bone white head on top. Looking gorgeous.

In the nose: Vibrant citrus-y hop flavors burst out at first, lemon lime, grapefruit. Beautiful citrus explosion.

In the mouth: Bitter hops attack up front, blazing the palate, ending nice and dry. Medium body, expertly drinkable. Blisteringly bitter. Bright, fresh and lively. Some juicy/fruity notes and hop bitterness that just won't quit. Light bodied and highly drinkable for a hop head like me.

I like this one a lot. Go out and get some.

Revolution No. 009 is a showcase for five "public domain" hops from the United States and Germany, offering a fresh twist on some not-so-familiar favorites. 
The lead hops include two varieties from the Pacific Northwest – one that provides exotic tropical notes, & another that offers a balance of earthy pine and citrus qualities. The German hops round out the blend with a dimension of bright fruitiness.
