Lefty Loosey

Revelry Brewing Co.
United States·American IPA
Tap to rate

Revelry's nod to the left coast — a classic West Coast IPA built on massive dry-hopping with all-American hops. Bright pine, grapefruit and resin aromas lead into a lean, dry, firmly bitter finish. A tribute to the hop-forward beers of California and a staple of the Charleston taproom.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and hop-forward, with citrus and pine flavors building through the mid-palate. The bitterness asserts itself clearly but remains well-integrated rather than harsh, supported by a lean malt backbone that avoids sweetness. Tropical and resinous notes linger throughout, creating a complex, layered bitterness.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
