Commercial Description:
Revolution XI, the hop monster that celebrates our 11th Anniversary, is a fat & chewy Imperial IPA that is over the top on hop flavor and aroma. The piney hop character is derived from a blend of five different hop varities: New Zealand Hallertau, Magnum, Chinook, Amarillo, and Simcoe.

weak palate, though wanting to be sharp and chewy here or there; pine, fruit tea aftertaste--quite the descent beer, and nothing great.

HARSH and of grapefruit and metal at first. very good body of caramel that is slick and almost moderatley sweet. very good balance and still intense with the enthusiasts understanding of a good malt presence with none of the overall mistakes that over malting tends to yield. yeasty so much so you almost taste the Belgian cousin that this beer has posessed. this beer settles into a calming brew. tangy and chalky it remains but redifined in stillness. a bad date beer or an overidulgent prick brew. enjoy!

Bomber poured into pint glass. This was a middle of the road DIPA. Sweeter malt flavors with caramel and chewy mouthfeel. Worth drinking again yet others in this style are more enjoyable.

Thanks to Juancho. Drank it in Panajachel, Guatemala. Pours nice orange and hazy. Nice initial taste, however it goes flat at the middle and the end of the mouth.

Bottle. Pours a caramel color, with creamy vanilla head, and thin braids of lacing. Aroma is of wet leaves, corn, some elements of grassy hops, hay. Subdued overall. Bright floral kick to the flavor, grass, sweet citrus, pepper, some hay. Fairly malty. Bitter bite, fairly subtle flavor profile overall. Has a tangy alcohol vibe.

Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a one finger mostly lasting white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of pine, citrus, and floral hops with a good dose of sweet malt and caramel to back it up. Taste is the same as aroma with a ton of hops in the begining and sweet malt and caramel in the finish. Medium full mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and smooth alcohol. This beer deserves a much higher score. Very good.
