Revolution Infinity Hero India Pale Ale

 


Revolution Infinity Hero India Pale Ale. Next-Gen hops Juicy Citrus Character.

7% ABV, Revolution Brewing, Chicago, Illinois. 

What if Dr. Strange had a hop cone for a head? Well, they did that once in the ‘70’s, didn’t you read that arc? When he fought that elder god with the rutabaga head? Around the time Clea dated Ben Franklin? (I didn’t make that one up.)

Clear, bright golden hue, long lasting and lace-leaving ivory head. 

In the nose: popping with citrus notes, with a dose of tropical, pineapple and papaya mingle with grapefruit and orange. Perfectly pleasant. 

In the mouth: just a little juicy, then turning dry. Hops resound on the palate. Blast of bitterness comes on like Kirby’s forced perspective while Ditko’s otherworldly weirdness casts spells on the tongue. Medium bodied and ridiculously drinkable. 

By the hoary hosts of Hoggoth, I’m happy that IPAs like this still exist and I admire Revolution for making them. 

The universe has long been at odds between Classic and Hazy IPAs. Infinity-Hero sets out to unite these dimensions by weaving the best of both worlds into an extremely drinkable, forward-looking IPA. A next-gen dry hop including Nectaron, Strata, HBC #586, and HBC #1019 provides a glimpse into the future of hop innovation with seemingly endless juicy, citrus character.
