Revenge

Tap to rate

A cold IPA: an easy-going malt profile fermented with lager yeast and then loaded with hops. At seven percent it is the strongest beer in the core range. Corn in the grist keeps the body dry under the hop load. The brewery currently lists it only as part of the Hop Box mixed pack, not as a standalone package.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Revenge

◎ Appearance

Revenge presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright translucence. A modest white head forms and recedes quickly, leaving minimal Schaumhaftung around the glass walls. The carbonation is crisp and lively, with fine bubbles rising steadily through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with assertive Edelhopfen character—citrus zest and herbal notes dominate, underpinned by a clean, neutral malt backdrop. The lager fermentation contributes a crisp, strain-free yeast profile with no fruity esters or sulfur notes. Corn adjunct reads as a subtle dryness in the aromatic foundation rather than as corn candy sweetness.

◐ Taste

Entry is dry and snappy, with hop bitterness asserting itself immediately without harshness. Mid-palate balances a restrained, clean malt sweetness—corn ensures the body stays lean and won't bloat—against a sustained, resinous hop bite. Bitterness persists but remains integrated, never astringent or overextracted.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium in length, clean and crisp, with lingering hop bitterness fading into a dry, mineral-like aftertaste. No cloying sweetness remains.

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.
