This week's New Brew Thursday is a little different as I was able to spend it with my extended family and it gave me (and by extension them) the opportunity to try 'Clever Girl' from Revival.
We all met up at my sister's house for a night of conversation and delicious Indian food. At all family gathering I am always the one with the interesting craft beer and with this recent release from Revival I knew I had the perfect beer to bring.
'Clever Girl' has a lot going for it even before your first sip. The name is a callback to the famous line from Jurassic Park and the label is simply hysterical with a Velociraptor holding a completed rubik's cube. Just saying the name and thinking of the label is enough to put a smile on my face but this beer is more than just a fun name/label. This self described paloma sour interestingly enough does not pour bright pink but more of an orange with a slight pink hue. It has a very light and crisp mouthfeel and the initial wave of grapefruit is very tart with just a little sweetness to help balance things out. However what really takes the beer up another notch is the smokey, sour aftertaste that lingers just long enough to make it an awesome sour.
I would highly, highly recommend getting down to the brewery to try this perfect summer beer as soon as possible.
I like the artwork on the can and the name!
