A Little Crazy

Tap to rate

A Little Crazy is Revolution's Belgo-style Pale Ale, a crisp, traditional take on the Belgian style at 6.8% ABV and 35 IBU, pitched as approachable and unpretentious. A dry hop of Citra and Krush adds an exuberant punch, and sweet tangerine and apricot notes carry the flavor. The Chicago brewery releases it seasonally, on draft and in cans.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant citrus—ripe tangerine and orange peel—layered over a subtle stone fruit character of apricot and peach. The dry hop character from Citra and Krush adds an exuberant, herbal-floral complexity without overwhelming delicate malt notes. Underlying the fruit and hops lies a light, grainy Malz backbone that frames the aromatic profile without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is crisp and clean with an immediate impression of stone fruit sweetness—apricot and peach—balanced by moderate hop bitterness that registers at 35 IBU without harshness. The mid-palate is refreshing and well-defined, with citrus notes following through alongside subtle malty sweetness, creating an approachable yet complex flavor journey. The finish avoids being cloying, with dry hop character providing a gentle, lingering herbal edge.
