Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Revision IPA

Appearance

A bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that clings to the glass in delicate lacing. The beer presents a vibrant, luminous quality typical of well-crafted West Coast IPAs. Carbonation is crisp and lively, evident in steady effervescence.

bright goldenexcellent claritypersistent headfine carbonation

Aroma

Assertive and multifaceted hop character dominates the nose, with pronounced tropical citrus notes—orange zest and tangerine—mingling with fresh pine and resinous undertones. The Simcoe hops deliver their signature character with clarity and refinement. Subtle malt sweetness provides a gentle foundation without intruding on the aromatic profile.

Taste

Entry is clean and vibrant, with citrus and tropical fruit flavors unfolding immediately across the palate. The mid-palate exhibits excellent balance between the hoppy bitterness and a light, delicate malt sweetness that never overwhelms. Bitterness is pronounced but refined, with a dry, piney character that complements rather than dominates the overall drinking experience.

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

Store in a cool, dark place. Check the best-before date on the label for guidance.

About American IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a American IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar American IPA

hopIQ matches by flavor profile — not just style label. A beer with the same hoppy, citrusy, clean character as Revision IPA will score highly even if brewed in a different country or under a different sub-style name.
