On my last trip to Milwaukee, I picked up about 4 cases of beer that I can’t get
in St. Louis.  [Revolution Brewing’s](http://www.revbrew.com/) Anti-Hero IPA was
in that load.  The brewery is based out of Chicago and I’ve enjoyed the other beers
I’ve tasted from them.

[[**ABV:** 6.50%
 **IBU:** 70 **Style:** IPA – American **Brewery Description:**
An American hop assault for all the ambivalent warriors who get the girl in the 
end. “Look, I ain’t in this for your revolution, and I’m not in it for you, Princess.”
This iconic ale features a blend of four hop varieties which creates a crisp bitterness
and imparts massive floral and citrus aromas.

[[**Appearance:** Poured from the can into a standard pint glass (as pictured). 
It’s a hazy orange with a little sediment.  There was a good 2 fingers of head when
poured and it had good retention and decent lacing.

**Smell:** Citrus is the main smell; you get some grapefruit, orange, and mango.
You also get hints of the caramel malt and pine.

**Taste:** The taste matches the smells.  The citrus is the strongest, but you also
get a piney/earthy quality as well.  The hops are a major factor in the taste.

**Mouth:** It’s pretty light for an IPA, but still a medium body.  I’d say it’s 
on the bitter side.  The carbonation is moderate, so it’s an easy drink.

**Overall:** Really, it comes off more of a session IPA with a little higher ABV.
It’s an easy drinking beer if you like them more on the bitter side.  **Score: 4.5
out of 5.**

The [Beer Advocate](https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/22072/55862/) score
is 91 (Outstanding) and the Bros haven’t scored it; it’s currently not on their 
Top 250.  Untappd has it as 3.903 with over 102,000 rankings.
