Tap to rate

Candied orange and juicy peach carry this hazy imperial IPA, part of the X-Hero series of 10% ABV IPAs from Revolution, the Chicago brewery that opened in 2010. The flavors are extreme and fruit-forward, yet the beer lands smooth and easy despite its strength. Brewed year-round in Chicago, on draft and in cans.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and approachable despite the 10% ABV strength, with peach and orange flavors establishing the primary palate impression. The mid-palate shows juicy fruit character with moderate hop bitterness (50 IBU) that balances without dominating. The finish remains refreshing and clean, the high alcohol content integrated seamlessly into an easy-drinking profile.

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.
