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.)

355 ml can. Pours a pale hay color. Aromas of dry apples and champagne. Flavors follow same; fresh apples and a bit of champagne. Crisp and very dry. Not getting the funkiness or sediment that other more. Seems very processed.

Pale purple. Appley aroma, with soft fruit to lend balance. This one has some decent complexity to it.

Hazy and pinkish. Apple sauce sort of aroma, which isn't usually my thing. Good fruit to balance the apples on the palate.

Can pour at FHF 2024, pours a cloudy pink with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle plums, apple skins, and a touch of white wine grape skins. Flavour is complex, with a very nice white wine grape skins character upfront, accentuated by juicy plums, and a touch of wild yeast. Super juicy and cohesive, with a vinous finish. Excellent.

Bottle pour at FHF 2024, pours a cloudy dark pinkish amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright blueberries, plums, and some red wine skins, with a nice musty wild yeast. Flavour is dry, with a nice mix of grape skins, blueberry, and some dry orange peel. Wild and cohesive, with a dry melange of fruit that works well. Good stuff.
