Revolution Brewing Company Anti-Hero IPA
What the brewers say
“An American hops assault for all the ambivalent warriors who get the girl in the end. This iconic ale features a blend of four hops varieties, which creates a crisp bitterness and imparts massive floral and citrus aromas.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “A light Froot-Loops hops character and a caramel sweet malt aroma. Hints of peaches, grapefruit, and dank and pine hops up front.”
Flavor: “Classic pine and grapefruit citrus hops with a hint of dank thrown in. Malt backbone is there but subtle, and yeast is clean. Finish is somewhat dry and bitter but not lingering.”
Overall: “A solid beer, but not exciting enough for an IPA. It comes across more like a pale ale. Pleasant and well-executed IPA that seems to fall more in line with pale ales than IPAs, but still very tasty and a great change of pace for the style.”
