So I came across this snazzy little can of beer the other day from 21st Amendment Brewery in San Francisco, CA, and couldn't pass it up. This will be my first 21st Amendment brew review - I've heard good things about it so expectations are high (perhaps unfairly). This is a "west coast" IPA brewed with a "sucker punch" of hops.....hops are one thing I don't mind getting sucker-punched by.
Pouring into my ale glass, this beer is a hazy golden-orange color. The nose is fairly muted, the aromas that make it through are lightly sweet and tangy, with some florals. The hops that come through in the taste are zesty with oranges, along with an herbal, earthy undertone. Caramel and lightly toasted breads provide a modest backbone to the brew. The body is medium, with an oily finish that coats the back of the mouth, and moderate carbonation.
