Of the two beers I had at Revolution, this one was the best. For a blonde ale this is rather hoppy and very crisp. Perfect for the hot summer day on which I imbibed. Would definitely drink again.

I had this on tap at Revolution. My good friend described this as a watered down porter. I agreed that for a porter it was relatively more watered than other porters, but I didn’t think it was \"watered down\". He continued to make fun of me for that statement for the next 10 min. As for this beer, I thought it was pretty good...definite chocolate and lactose notes, good balance, relatively creamy.

Sampled at Revolution. Poured near black with a brown head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma sweet dark grains with bitter dark chocolate and just a hint of dark fruit. Flavor was similar with sweet dark grains in the start, dark chocolate towards the finish with just a bit of underlying dark fruit.

Sampled at Revolution. Poured a dull hazy orange with a thin white head that dissipated slowly. Aroma was full of spice including cardamon with some light citrus. Flavor again had lots of spice and was quite dry with a bit of underlying citrus.

Sampled at Revolution. Poured a clear orange amber with an off-white head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma was a balance of citrus and pine with a slight hint of pine. Flavor was similar with a citrus start and growing pine towards the finish.

Draft pint, June 7. Cloudy weiss color, thin white head. It was hard to get a smell at first. Eventually I picked up some weizen and wit character: banana ester, with a bit of clove. The taste brought in some lemon, with a slight touch of honey. Maybe cause it was the end of my dinner there, but I just not impressed. I may also be getting tired of wits.

Hand pumped pint at Revolution, June 7. Nice Guinness cascade effect. Deep brown in color, deeper than a Newcastle. Toasty malts and hoppy smell. The taste is similarly toasty, but lets in some nice hop character.

Draft taster, June 7. Deep black, with a thin head. Smell has some light chocolate, but the taste goes much deeper to cocoa country. Warming alcohol gives this an impression of a chocolate cordial. Overall impression is sweet, with a bit of roastiness and hoppiness in the background.

Draft taster, June 7. Darker than the Best Coast IPA, almost brown, with a thicker, spongy head. I could not get a hop smell through, for some reason. Instead something like fresh river water??? No idea why I should be so discombobulated. Then I got a taste of chocolate on my first sip. Then some fruitiness on the way down. Don’t why, I’ve just gotta call them as I see them. Still nice.

Draft taster. Light amber color for an IPA, but it does show the usual clingy thin head for the style. Big catty, citrusy and piney smell... so this is what Citra hops offer? Nice. Taste is big on hops, too, with more pine resin than anything else, plus alpha acids, a lemony backbone, and a touch of cut grass. Lots of sticky sweet malt, too. An excellent big hop beer.
