Description
Revival Brewing Company is a renewal of brewmaster Sean Larkin’s passion for unique and innovative craft beers, cultivated over twenty years of creating signature brews for the preeminent breweries in Rhode Island. Though he’d been thinking about striking out on his own for a few years, it was an introduction to Owen Johnson, an avid home brewer, in late 2009 that set in motion that which would become Revival. Over that first December breakfast meeting at Nick’s on Broadway, the two discovered how closely their ambitions and passions aligned.

Hazy medium brown. Mango and guava in Nose. Medium body lots of guava and mangoes with crackers malt backbone. Fairly aggressive bitterness, but not super well balanced. Enjoyable but a bit more body and higher abv could have made this a bit better. Still good hop character.

16 oz. can purchased at Craft Beer Cellar, Amesbury. Aroma is pretty weak, musty grain and light resin. The "session" IPA can end up to thin and watery in body and mouthfeel. Unfortunately, this is super thin and watery. The grain backbone is also in the form of caramel. The hop profile is also weak.
I have liked Revival’s beers in the past but this is borderline disgraceful. Maybe a draft pour would fair better? I am not a fan of watered down IPA’s.

16 fl oz can from Nikki’s Liquors, Providence, 2.69 $. Drunk on a hot summer night at a hotel room in Manhattan. Murky unclear nearly juicy in the glass, huge white head. Low banana and wheat on the nose. Taste has a mix of wheat, banana, yeast, also a little bit dry with increasing bitterness. Less sweet. Not bad at all.

From some liquor store in CT: pours murky brown with a beige head. Aroma is nuts, some light chocolate, sugar, hints of booze and some caramel. Taste is lightly bitter. Not overly sweet. Pretty drinkable.

Bomber to lager glass, the appearance was a hazy burnt copper golden color with a two finger semi-rocky white foamy head that fell off at a moderate pace. Some light stringy lace.
The aroma had an interesting blend of semi-spicy hops to some piney bitter hops and some green tea and lime sliding in underneath.
The flavor was a semi-sweet to spicy combination of the hops to the tea taste. Aftertaste was quaint and semi-smooth, sly sweet. Finish was brisk, somewhat tea-like but not too much.
The palate was almost medium bodied but falling short just a pinch yet making a pretty good sessionably smooth feel not too harsh along my tongue.
Overall, pretty decent India pale lager, that tea thing is a bit different for this style, but I didn’t get the mint that was supposedly in this.

Treated as an imperial black IPA, this was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a black color with a cap of a little eggshell white foamy head. Some messy lace.
The aroma had some coffee, light bitter pine/somewhat sprucy, citrus rind, subtle earthiness, sly wood, dark chocolate and a little bit of grassiness.
The flavor was moderately bitter with a touch of the sweet and roast nipping at the back end. Aftertaste was semi-roasty, bitter, hint of sweet. Finish nipped at some roast and pine.
The palate was medium bodied with a good grip of the sipping aspect coming about. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, pretty nice imperial black IPA. I’d have this again.

Pours a copper from a can. Aroma is a pine with butter. Faint diacetyl in the mouth. Typical session watery bitterness with little in the way of mouthfeel. Meh.
