Freedom of Speach is a Session Sour from Revolution's Freedom line, which is made with real fruit. Lush, ripe peach leads, lifted by a naturally tart finish, and at 4.5% ABV and just 7 IBU it is thirst-quenching by design. The Chicago brewery releases it as a seasonal on draft and in cans, pitched as a declaration for anyone who wants to amplify their voice.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced peach sweetness that transitions into a naturally tart middle, where fruity acidity takes the lead. Bitterness is nearly absent at just 7 IBU, allowing the interplay of fruit and sourness to define the flavor arc. The body is light and refreshing, never heavy or cloying.
