Revolution Anti-Hero IPA
Our flagship IPA is supremely aromatic, crisp, and drinkable. This iconic ale features a blend of Chinook, Centennial, Crystal, and Citra to create a crisp clean bitterness and imparts massive floral and citrus aromas. The Warrior hop is also used to add additional bitterness to the brew.
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.”

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Lightly hazy pale amber, small head. Dank aroma of grapefruit peel and hay. Mid sweet with solid body and well rounded mouthfeel. Dank grapefruit, some pears and caramel. Long bitter finish.
Pours gold into a shaker. White head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Pine and citrus aromas. Crisp with sweet caramel and pine upfront turning to dry peel and pith in the medium length finish.

Aroma has tropical fruits, fruit juice and some candy. Orange too. Flavour has tropical fruits, some grapefruit. Finished with cereal-like malt and biscuits. Aftertaste is a hop mix with herbs and grapefruit. Crisp but the hop profile is a bit unpleasant.

Can. Alko. Golden light amber hue, clear. Pretty nice traditiinal us ipa nose. Pines, citrus, bit bready, slight papery malts. Med bodied well bittered. Not fresh, hoos give a kind of black tea like thing at this stage. Reminds me of not that many years ago when this was the best one could expect.

Nice juicy incredibly refreshing when cold IPA with just enough but not too much bitterness from the resinous hops which abound here.

Oily texture, smooth and soft, dry, parching palate, fine and soft carbonation.
Wow! This puts me back almost a decade ago. An iconic West Coast style IPA for the (old school) hopheads; you really need balls to cope with this hop bomb - maybe a bit unfashionable nowadays but paradigmatic for the style and accordingly agelessly premium. Outstanding!
Can at Tortas Frontera by Rick Bayless
Filled 12-19-19. Copper coloured, no head. Caramel, pine hops, citrus. Pretty average.
Purchased at Tortas Frontera by Rick Bayless, Chicago Airport.
This beer brought me to craft beer. I had my first one in chicago at giordano and was disapointed in the beginning that they only had fancy beer but wanted something local since I am from Germany. I liked the beer instantly and have enjoyed it since every year when I am in Chicago. It tasts best from a cask but is also greta from a can. It is has a somewhat spice taste with a little bit of malt and quite some bitterness. It has a proper strong and edgy body and a blossom like smell. It is my favorite IPA. Unfortunately it is not available in Germany...
Very hoppy and enjoyable
Clear and golden. Smells hops and clean grain. Taste is bitter and classic up front hops, very well balanced beer, a bit of caramel sweetness from the malt, medium body and sticky mouthfeel while still sparkling. Quite a nice one.
Aroma: Initially a bright citrus, clean very crisp and fresh. The hops provide a copious amount of grapefruit. The malts provide a sweetness and a light cracker. Also detected a faint note of alcohol.
Appearance: Crystal clear body, golden yellow in color with strong orange hues. The head is off-white with a texture of mostly tiny bubbles mixed with medium scattered throughout. Head retention is strong and lacking is moderate.
Flavor: Floral mixed with bright citrus tasting of grapefruit, the malts provide a light toasted grain flavor and a great lightly sweet backbone to balance the hops. The hops also provide a strong level of bitterness, but the malt sweetness help balance the overall impression. The finish is bitter and the balance is hoppy.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, high carbonation, a touch of a carbonic bite. No noticable alcohol warmth, is not creamy. Moderate astringency from the hops.
Overall: A bright citrus and floral IPA with a good backbone of malt sweetness that balances the beer. Overall this is a strong West Coast IPA that has a little bit more residual hoppiness what is still very enjoyable.
120z can. Pours a clear orange-gold with a fluffy, slow-dissipating white head l(3-4mm) eaving very light lacing. Aroma presents sweet tangerine, tropical fruit, faint pine, and slight must notes. The taste is well-balanced between citrusy flavors up front giving way to bready-biscuity grains followed by a grapefruit-pine bitterness. Frothy mouthfeel, medium dry with a fairly quick finish but a lingering remnant of bitterness. A solid classic American IPA.
Aaahhhh solid yummy hoppy beer mmmm
Clear golden in the glass with a fine head. Good lacing
Looks nice and inviting
Lovely hoppy aroma with a fine intensity
Nice bitterness in this one and a semi dry ending
Grapefruit hoppy, fruity, malty and pine in the flavor

Ok IPA.Some citrusy, but blended w bit of pine.More malty than hoppy
Can. Grapefruit hop citrus aroma with notes of floral hops, pine resin and some orange. Pours clear golden-copper colored with a large off white head that has excellent retention, but little lacing.
