Description
Revel started in 2014 as a solo passion project. Imagine our excitement when it turned out that, hey, lots of folks are fermentation enthusiasts!
By 2022, our team was seven people strong — with over 1000 cases of Revel bottles and cans shipped to discerning drinkers every month.
Our characterful native yeast fermentations explore the endless flavours Ontario has to offer. Combining farm-grown and foraged fruits, discovering what the fermentation process yields, and aiming to bring out the best of each ingredient is what makes us excited to come to work every day. (Well, that, and all the incredible smells.)

[notes] Poured from bottle @ FHF 2023 (Aug 12, 2023). Hazy pale blonde. Pear and apple, okay. (7/3/7/3/14=3.4) Aug 06, 2022 (5/3/5/2/10=2.5): Poured @ FHF 2022 (backlog notes from Aug 06). Hazy blonde with minimal white head. Pears and well... some issues with this one. Maybe it was out in the sun for too long.

Pinkish with some haze. There's some apple notes. Light cherry, a bit of cinnamon, spicy and the two fruits balance well.

Hazy. The aroma is all wrong - compost and hot garbage. Some pear juice in here, but fermentation problems are rather dominant. Yikes.

Hazy, pale green. Very tart. Lots of green apple. Tannic as heck. I mean, I like it for that but it's quite assertive.

Has a sweet honeyed fruit note, and mellow apple. Earthy, nice apple character on the palate. Good complexity.

Tap at Muted Horn, 6.1% version with Zweigelt grapes. Red, low head. Mead/honey spiciness in the nose strangely enough - honey is about the only thing not in here. Cardamom and the berries, apple in the background, very saftsoppa. Medium body, tart sparkly, broad fruit notes. Feels like it should be sweet, but isn’t. Alcoholic drinkable version of Swedish fruit soup. --- Beer merged from original tick of Revel Cider Soif on 16 Aug 2022 at 16:44 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 9 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.

Bottle sample at Farmhouse Fest 2022, pours a hazy bright reddish pink with a small white head. Aroma is musty, with tart cherries, hazy, and some musty apple skins. Flavour is full of tart cherries, musty notes, and crisp apple skins. Crisp, dry, gently fruity. Pleasant.
