We are lucky in Huddersfield in having the Grove, which has a dedicated pump for their beers, so we have a chance to sample plenty of their range. And as I have said before, the range is pretty good, covering every style of beer imaginable, and some you cannot imagine.
The most recent addition to the core beer range is 'Revelation', and quite a revelation it was when I found it in the Grove on Sunday. It has only been released earlier this month, so this was my first chance to sample it. It is a light coloured beer, at 5.7%, and contains 4 different types of hops; Centennial, Liberty, Citra,and Cascade and then is dry hopped. And Maris Otter pale malt provides the background. It sounded good. And it did not disappoint. A beautifully rounded beer, with plenty of of balanced flavour and dangerously drinking nowhere near its strength. When I read the hops I thought one would come to the fore in the taste, but that was not the case, all four blended together, to create interesting tropical fruit flavours, both in the nose and on the palette, to create one of my beers of the year. And with it being one of the core range of beers it should be available all the year round, both in cask and keg. At its strength it fits perfectly into the brewery portfolio. So if you are unfortunate to miss it this time, no doubt there will be plenty of other chances to sample it.
