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.)

Bright gold and clearish depending where in the bottle your pour. Apple skins and some white glue. Bone dry and some funky glue notes. Nothing of note that I liked.

A hazed blonde cider with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet tart apples with light acidity, light plums, pleasant. In mouth, a nice tart mix of apples, plums and light acidity, some perfumy notes, nice. On tap at KBC.

Vom Fass im Muted Horn Berlin 2021-09 getrunken. Dieses rose-farbende Cider ist in der Nase und am Gaumen leider etwas langweilig. Warum ein Flieder/Pflaumen Cider? Egal es wirkt leblos und fruchtig - mehr nicht.

355mL can, pours a cloudy yellow, no head. Aroma brings out lots of nectarines, crisp apple skins, and some gentle funk. Flavour has a bit funk, with lots of apple core, gently tart nectarines, and apple skins. Gently funky, with lots of tart nectarines. Not complex, but it's pleasant.

750mL bottle, pours a fairly clear dark-ish amber with a small off-white head. Aroma reveals a fair amount barnyard funk, some rustic notes, crisp pear skins, musty dry grape skins, and a touch of pineapple. Flavour is bright, funky, and complex, with juicy pineapple, barnyard funk, some champagne effervescence, a touch of grape skins, and crisp pears. The juicy sweetness is mild, but melds with funky character really well. Carbonation is higher than average, which tempers the sweetness. Complex and nuanced. Excellent.

Tasting at Phill's, bottle
Pale blond colour, hazy. A bit farty, moderately acidic, the apple character is poor, but the fermentation profile is good. Off-dry.

750ml @ Phill's. Appearance: hazy blonde with a white head. Aroma: manur notes, some wild yeats, fermented apples. Taste: along the same lines, quite dry and funky. Overall: pretty good, but as usual in such stuff I would prefer more residual sugars.

Cloudy and pale green, just a bit of haze. No head. It's appley and with a bit of bugs and barrel. On the palate, definitely a barrel, fairly appley, and a bit of tartness. Light, tart, refreshing and subtlely complex.
