5.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5

From HoTM it pours slightly hazy deep golden - yellow with a decent white cap. The aroma is slick, oily, very sweet, tinned fruit cocktail, fruit syrup, tinned mango, peach, white sugar and candy. The taste of slick, oily, sticky, quite raw, punch, very boozy, raw alcohol, tinned fruits, peach, mango, sugary, fruit syrup and heavy sweetness with a slick, boozy finale. Full body, average carbonation and sticky mouth feel. Pretty rough around the edges and not what I've come to expect from Revolution.
