Pours clear, reddish brown. Fine carbonation, head fades quickly. Rich malt flavor, but a sharp finish. Not overhopped, but is definitely crisper than the style suggests. Prost!

[TASTING] KF’s Hoppy Brown Ale
Posted by – 2010-12-23
Pours clear. Brown with red hue. Head quickly fades to reasonable lace. Did not notice hop aroma, possibly due to my lingering cold. Roasty malt flavor at first with a quick transition to clean bitterness. I was trying to find a “band-aidy” flavor. Maybe I imagined it there between the malt and the hop. If anything, there was a herbal quality to the hop flavor.
Nice combination of roasted barley and hops. I’ve had worse phenolic flavors, surely.
Poured from a 12oz. bottle.
[TASTING] Revolution Brewing Anti Hero IPA

Pours red-tinged copper. White head. Big hop nose. Round malt flavor, smooth, with big citrus hop finish. Decent lacing. Did I say citrusy? Piney too. Malt backbone keeps it smooth.
Poured from a growler.

Pours black, with coffee-colored head. Head subsides to a fine lace on the glass. Dark roast nose, a hint of chocolate. Smooth, even roast flavor. Any hops bitterness is absent, the malt dominates. Coffee finish.
Poured from a growler, hand delivered from the brewery.
[TASTING] Magic Hat Vinyl Lager

Pours reddish amber, head fades to lace quickly. Malt aroma and flavor, a little hop backbone. Finishes clean, an easy quaff. A robust lager.
I was looking forward to this year’s HiPA, I’ll have to look elsewhere for a spring IPA.
Bold name. Great label.
