Anti-Hero

Tap to rate

Five classic American hop varieties drive this IPA. Bold aromas of citrus, floral tones and pine open the way, then grapefruit, lemon candy and orange marmalade take over the palate, and a bracing bitterness clears it between aromatic sips. It runs at 6.7% ABV and 65 IBU and is brewed year-round by Revolution in Chicago, on draft and in cans.

◐ Taste

The palate begins clean and crisp, with grapefruit and lemon candy establishing immediate presence. Mid-palate brings orange marmalade character and sustained hoppy bitterness, balanced by a light malt backbone that provides structure without sweetness. The 65 IBU bitterness is bracing and assertive, lingering clearly without harshness.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

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.

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
