21st Amendment IPA

January 30th, 2010
Continuing the beer in a can motif, the 21st Amendment Brewery offers Brew Free! or Die IPA.     Two-row pale and munich malts.   Warrior for the bittering, Columbus and Cascade for the finish, then dry-hopped with Amarillo, Ahtanum and Simcoe.

This beer has an assertive malt backbone that holds up nicely against the hops.   Hop aroma/presence is prolific and upfront but not overwhelmingly bitter with a hint of pine.   The beer pours a deep golden color with a white head.   Moderate carbonation.   7% ABV.

Current Beeradvocate rating: B+

This is the kind of American IPA that I really appreciate.     70ish IBUs are about my maximum.   With all that considered, this is an extremely drinkable beer that I will seek out from time to time.
