21st Amendment Brew Free or Die IPA

21st Amendment Brewery
Brewed at Cold Spring Brewery
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
San Francisco, California USA

Compliments of doboy, poured from 12 oz can clear copper with a white head. Aroma of citrus, pine and tropical fruitiness in the nose -very fresh. Flavour was full bodied, pine, grapefruit, mango and papaya. Pleasant malt sweetness level with a smooth yet quite ample bitterness. Tremendous beer, wish I had some more, thanks Ed for sharing!

First really good canned beer I have tried. Refreshing and nice, no hint of the abv. Can’t believe I poured this out of a can. This is truly progress.

(Canned). Large bubbly head which looks like soap bubbles. Golden color body. Not much aroma considering they say it’s dry hopped. Malt flavor comes through and keeps up with hops, especially considering it’s an IPA. Hops linger on the palate a lot longer than does the malt. It’s a nice beer, but not necessarily something I’m going to add to my regular stable of beers around the house.

12oz can courtesy of brewerb, thanks a bunch man. Super clear, light orange with a decent head. It smells fruity like mangoes or something. The flavor is very nicely balanced between the malts and hops which really makes this easy to drink. No hint of the 7% alcohol. Another winner in a can!

Thanks to snojerk321 for the can!
Pours pretty transparent amber-gold, large, bubbly white head. Nose has caramel, peach, lemon, toast, and fresh hop. Flavor is a little weaker, caramel, hop bitterness, sweet fruit and citrus. Palate is thin, but that helps the refreshing quality of the beer. I’d drink another.

Poured from a 12oz can provided by snojerk321 and served in a shaker. This IPA poured a lightly hazed golden amber with a thin, bubbly head of off-white foam. The aroma consisted of strong orange, grapefruit rind, and some chewy caramel. The flavor was heavy on the grapefruit and orange, and there was also a very sturdy caramel element. Also a bit of iced tea flavor at the finish. The mouthfeel was medium to full-bodied and had light carbonation. A decent IPA, but I think I liked the can better than the beer inside of it.

12 ounce can courtesy of cdumler. Thanks! Pours a golden orange color with a medium head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of sweet malts, citrus hops, caramel and grain. Taste is leafy, vegetal hops, nutty toasted malts. Medium bodied.

Another in the massive box that came in from Snojerk. Pours a clearer and thinner than normal looking orange/yellow. Flavor is mostly grassy with a tinge of grapefruit. Hop flavor is there and decent but not overly huge and aggressive. It’s just right I think for a fine sunny day in April or May. Aroma is a little light but the flavor more than makes up for that. Now I’m getting a little green apple flavor and the finish is metallic hops. Pretty impressed with the diverse flavor profile.
