New Glarus Organic Revolution

Brewed by New Glarus Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
New Glarus, Wisconsin USA

Nice crisp beer. Malty flavor with some sweetness. Tastes a lot like the New Glarus Totally Naked. Good drinking beer, though nothing all that special.

Appearance: Pours a hazy, orangey body with a small, thin, white head. Smell: Pale malt nose with notes of light caramel and spicy-scented hops. Taste: Pale malts, a touch grainy, and with a candyish caramel sweetness. Spicy Noble hoppiness delivers a bit more bitterness than I had expected from the aroma. A nice mingling interplay of malt and hops. Finishes crisp and bittersweet. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A decent, drinkable, well-balanced brew. While I wouldn’t stop a bottle to save it, I also wouldn’t turn one down.

12oz bottle. Aroma of Formula 409. Medicinal hop aroma. Hints of pepperoni spice in the nose. Earthy hop flavor. Woody, some creamy malt character. Light bodied. Flavorful for the body. Better as it warms.

From a brown 12oz bottle - Pours a cloudy pale yellow/orange with a slight head and carbonation. Smells of sweet malts and barley with mild hop presence. First sip is sweet bu a tad chemical cleaner like. Finishes slightly bitter. Decent mouthfeel that is under carbonated. I can’t get beyond the kitchen cleaner like taste.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear copper with a white head. Not much in the nose some malt and a touch of sweetness. Smooth slick body. Pale malts and a touch of floral hops that are slightly sweet and rather clean. Drinkable and tasty, though I thought it was just a lager, not an APA. Good for a lager, but I’d be disappointed if I was expecting an APA.

12oz Bottle $7.59 6-Pack Steve’s Madison Organic Revolution pours a deep glowing golden with a touch of haze from the bottle conditioning. A mix of both small and large carbonation bubbles rise to the surface in broken streams. A two finger dense craggy white head formed on the pour that slowly fell to one finger and left sticky, chunky lacing on its way down. This is without a doubt a good looking IPA. According to the bottle this is brewed using Hallertau but I seem to a light orange floral aroma that’s very inviting, although something I never find in Hallertau. The foundation of this beer contains flashes of cake like malts. This smells very balanced, calm, and inviting. The flavors come together very nicely with the orange floral character combining with the pale cake like maltiness. Organic Revolution is straight forward and simple but is a good beer none the less. This beer is easy to drink thanks to a mild sweetness throughout. The mouthfeel on this beer is all at once medium-full and incredibly silky smooth. The carbonation isn’t really noticeable but lets beer just flow through almost perfectly. I could see myself drinking this often if available around here. A good beer to sip the day away with and one none craft beer drinking friends would surely enjoy. Organic Revolution is a good beer to keep around the house for some easy drinking. I really didn’t expect a whole lot from Organic Revolution but it turned out to be something I really enjoyed. A highly quaffable brew from New Glarus, one of my favorite breweries. 5/31/08

Courtesy of Gillard. Pours gold with thin bright white head. The aroma has notes of malts sweetness, floral hops, spice like hops and some malt graininess. The taste has notes of floral to spice hops hitting first followed quickly by grainy malts, sugar sweet malts and a tinge of lemon. It finishes with sweet malts and floral hops. It has none of the flavor flaws I constantly find in organic beers.

Not bad but not great either. A so-so brew thats clean, crisp and refreshing. Aroma is a yeasty aroma with a small hint of hops. Flavor is the same and the palate is kinda boring. Its smooth but nothing to make you want to drink it again.
