Description
Illinois' largest independent craft brewery. Brewed in the heart of Chicago.

The change in the U.S. beer scene has undoubtedly been revolutionary. We are proud of what we have accomplished in our short time to become a leader and innovator in the industry. The evolving tastes of beer drinkers has demanded bigger flavors, more variety, and better beer. That’s exactly what we give you at Revolution Brewing. Between our brewery and our brewpub, we produce dozens of different beer styles every year. IPAs, porters, pilsners, Belgian-style ales, pale ales, barrel-aged beers — the list goes on!

Our brewery has been a labor of love. You can see it in everything we do, from the beautiful details of our mahogany bar at the brewpub, to the massive beauty of our eight 800 barrel fermenters at the brewery, to the commitment to quality in each beer that we put in a can or a keg. Revolution believes in the value of hard work. We work hard to provide great, accessible brews for everyday people. We have fun doing what we do and hope you have fun drinking our beers!

341mL can, bonus'd generously by cstromberg (thanks a lot, Chris). Pours a cloudy golden with a medium white head. Aroma is full of piney hops and citrus zest, and various tropical fruits (pineapple comes to mind). Flavour is characterized by tropical fruits and citrus zest upfront, before transitioning to fairly bitter piney hops which linger on the palate. Fruity upfront, with dry zestiness later on. Great IPA.

12 oz. can from De Bierkoning @ home. Dark golden to orange color. Off white sticky head, short retention. Aroma’s: a resin punch, citrus, some malt in the background with some acidity. Retronasal it’s more citrussy, fruity, but still resin as well. Flavor is actually rather mild, somewhat malty, just a hint of bitterness & acidity. Body is medium, soft carbonation. Finishes still hop-aromatic but with just little bitterness which is a bit disappointing after the ultra hoppy aroma.
