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.)

500mL bottle, pours a hazy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very fragrant, with lots of clove, vanilla and gin botanicals, with a touch of citrus rind. Flavour is along the same lines, with vanilla and clove upront, accentuated by gin botanicals and citrus rind. Lots of clove on the finish. I normally wouldn't like this, but this works pretty well.

Hazy and pale. No head. Massive gin botanicals, vanilla, light apple. I mean it smells like aromatherapy, but if you forget about that it smells nice. Ok body, light apple, and lots of spice, botanicals. Definitely needs some residual sugar to balance out the spices, though.

Slight haze, very pale and greenish. Mellow apple, nice light cinnamon spice notes. Thin body, light apple note, maybe a touch of spice. I don't get much complexity and seems limited.

500mL bottle, pours a hazy yellow blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out wild yeast, apple skins, green apples, and some oak. Flavour is along the same lines, with green apples, oak, light acidity and wild yeast. Wonderfully constructed, with a great wild yeast character. Very good.
