12oz Bottle $7.59 6-Pack Steve’s Madison Organic Revolution pours a deep glowing golden with a touch of haze from the bottle conditioning. A mix of both small and large carbonation bubbles rise to the surface in broken streams. A two finger dense craggy white head formed on the pour that slowly fell to one finger and left sticky, chunky lacing on its way down. This is without a doubt a good looking IPA. According to the bottle this is brewed using Hallertau but I seem to a light orange floral aroma that’s very inviting, although something I never find in Hallertau. The foundation of this beer contains flashes of cake like malts. This smells very balanced, calm, and inviting. The flavors come together very nicely with the orange floral character combining with the pale cake like maltiness. Organic Revolution is straight forward and simple but is a good beer none the less. This beer is easy to drink thanks to a mild sweetness throughout. The mouthfeel on this beer is all at once medium-full and incredibly silky smooth. The carbonation isn’t really noticeable but lets beer just flow through almost perfectly. I could see myself drinking this often if available around here. A good beer to sip the day away with and one none craft beer drinking friends would surely enjoy. Organic Revolution is a good beer to keep around the house for some easy drinking. I really didn’t expect a whole lot from Organic Revolution but it turned out to be something I really enjoyed. A highly quaffable brew from New Glarus, one of my favorite breweries. 5/31/08

Courtesy of Gillard. Pours gold with thin bright white head. The aroma has notes of malts sweetness, floral hops, spice like hops and some malt graininess. The taste has notes of floral to spice hops hitting first followed quickly by grainy malts, sugar sweet malts and a tinge of lemon. It finishes with sweet malts and floral hops. It has none of the flavor flaws I constantly find in organic beers.

Not bad but not great either. A so-so brew thats clean, crisp and refreshing. Aroma is a yeasty aroma with a small hint of hops. Flavor is the same and the palate is kinda boring. Its smooth but nothing to make you want to drink it again.

Aroma: Faint hay-like hops, a little yeast. Not much else. Appearance: Hazy apricot gold, white head has nice retention and lacing. Flavor: Sweet apricot and citrus on the front, turning nicely doughy. Dries out a little, and some bitter hay-like hops come to the fore in the finish. Palate: Somewhat watery, but capable of becoming soft and creamy upon savoring.

Bottle, big thanks to Hopdog. Pours a cloudy light yellow with a small white head. The aroma is fairly juicy and citrusy with a bit of dough and corn. Uh, this is not an American Pale Ale. This smells more like a pilsener and now that I read the commercial description, I see that German Hallertau is used. I take a sip. It’s got a pretty assertive mouthfeel considering the flavor profile. Paper, wooden hops highlighted by little nips of citrus hit my palate. It’s slightly dry with minimal suggestions of corn and more assertive cereal flavor. Sweetness comes out in a bready, doughy fashion, though the finish is a bit metallic. No real sign of pale malt in the flavor and no American hop flavor at all. APA is a misnomer. That aside, I still wasn’t too crazy about this one. It’s pretty decent on a summer day, I suppose.
