Revolution Trident Hero IPA.
6.2% ABV, 42 IBU. Revolution Brewing, Chicago, Illinois.
This one comes from a Revolution League of Heroes variety pack, where new IPAs are imagined as various superhero types, all with hops for heads.
When I think of tridents, I first think of Neptune, Namor, Aquaman, and that one weird SNL sketch where Will Ferrell murders Chris Parnell with one. Anyway, now I think of another undersea hero with a Hop for a head.
Slightly clouded, bright golden hue, slim white head.
In the nose: Dank, piney, resinous, certainly citric. Everything I want in an IPA, plus a touch of the tropical.
In the mouth: blast of bitterness at the onset, blazing the palate before cooling off. Flavors of grapefruit, mango, tangerine and orange zest continue to please.
Flat out deliciousness, thoroughly enjoyed.
The king of the depths strikes with aromas and flavors as expansive as his undersea kingdom. Citrus, passionfruit, and kiwi character reach from the reef to the shores.
