 For this episode of brew a battle beer break. I'm going to be trying a holiday beer this one is by Revolution brewing out of Chicago, Illinois. It's a beer called fist miss holiday ale Don't know how they intended that to come across, but that can mean a few things Anyway, I'm assuming what it means is they always have this logo of a Revolutionary fist on all of their cans and yes They mainly just can especially when it comes to 12 ounce. They don't bottle 12 ounces. They do Bottles for 22 ounces and then we have a little Santa Claus there. Oh look. He's in a barrel very cool of him So this is a holiday ale brewed with spices 6.1% alcohol by volume typically not really huge on spiced beers, but when they're done, right? They can be done amazingly well, so Hoping it's one of those. I have had a few Revolution beers in the past and greatly enjoyed them I'll show you guys the fist Business Let's take a look at it. Oh, it's very Brownish orange has a decent head to it pretty clear looks like it's pretty well filtered Oh Pretty hoppy actually See what kind of spices Really got to get it. It's pretty cold. So so a little maybe like Little coriander in there I'm really getting a lot of like citrus note from significant perceptible hops smell like some Lemon peel in there actually I don't really smell many spices. I'm just mainly getting like nice citrusy hop notes Huh, it'll be interesting how I can pick it up. Okay, there it is a little bit of like a nutmeggy aspect to it a little maybe a Little cardamom potentially hmm but yeah, there is like a like a very perceptible citrusy hoppy note too It's weird because it seems like the spices and the hops are coming together to create This one flavor basically, it's very very hard to pull anything apart But it's this nice like Spiced citrus kind of like I know a little bit like when people have like those oranges that they shove like cloves into It seems like maybe it's that in liquid form very interesting Not what I expected, but man that nose is so hoppy so hoppy and delightfully so because you know, I love the hops hmm Not bad not bad The the mouth feel to it. There's a little more viscosity than I expected coming from it Just a little bit thicker. I was expecting to be kind of on the thin side, but it's really not This tastes a little bit more of like a serious Beer then then something that a lot of breweries would do is you know kind of like a fun and throw away style type holiday beer Tip of the hat to you revolution brewing for trying to do like a nice flavorful serious holiday beer Fistmas is good So I'm really not much else to say about that I'm still pretty confused about the flavor But I think what I said about like the orange with the cloves and it kind of sums it up pretty well One more just to make sure to if I can pick anything else out Yep, everything are already said basically interesting beer though if anybody has interest in it. See if you can find it All right revolution brewing Keep it real
