Revelation Cat
Tap to rate
🌍 Italy · American IPA · One of 388 American IPAs in hopIQ

Revelation Cat's signature hop-forward IPA — dry-hopped for maximum aroma and served at Brasserie 4:20's 40+ tap lines in Rome's Trastevere district. Pale golden with a soft white head; the nose is vivid with tropical and citrus hop oils from the late dry-hop addition. On the palate a clean, firm bitterness drives through a lean malt base to a dry, refreshing finish. The beer that made Brasserie 4:20 and its Revelation Cat house label famous across Rome.

Dry and assertively bitter.

A trim base, a hop-led finish — the classic setup for a hop-forward beer.

pale goldensoft white headbright clarityfine carbonation

Aroma

The nose is dominated by vivid tropical and citrus hop oils from the dry-hop charge, with pronounced notes of pineapple, grapefruit, and lime rind. A subtle, clean malt base provides gentle balance without competing with the forward hop aromatics, while the overall impression remains crisp and unyoked by yeast character.

The malt foundation is deliberately restrained, allowing the hop bitterness and residual citrus flavors to dominate; the finish is dry and refreshing, with a persistent but not heavy aftertaste.
