Poured from a 12-ounce can into a BBC pint glass.

A: Clean, clear, pale copper with ample carbonation which forms a two-finger head of rocky, off-white foam that leaves a bit of chunky lace.

S: Fresh, citrusy hop aroma with some toffee-malt and biscuity sweetness added in. Floral and fruity with hints of minty, herbal hop resins.

T: Smooth, slightly creamy malts up front with caramel sweetness and juicy flavors. A spicy hop resin floats across the tongue as well as a slightly metallic, granular flavor before finishing up with a bitter, slightly boozy aftertaste of herbal grapefruit.

M: Medium-full bodied IPA with a little creaminess and a resinous finish. Pretty clean and balanced in the right sense of an IPA.

O: A very sturdy canned IPA offering that clocks in at a deceptive 7% ABV. 21st Amendment obviously cares about what they're putting into their cans since they take some time to think about its art design (very cool!) A fresh, citrusy IPA with enough malt backbone to have me sipping more and more.

12oz can received in trade with cfrancis - thanks!

Appearance - Clear golden/amber with an average size fizzy off-white coloured head. There is an average amount of carbonation showing and there is some decent lacing. The head lasted for around 3-4 minutes.

Smell - Hops, malts, grapefruit, lemons

Taste & Mouth - There is an average amount of carbonation and I can taste caramel, malts, and hops. There is also some grapefruit, lemons, and apricots. There is also a bit of a corn/graininess. It ends with a malty grainy yet hoppy bitter aftertaste.

Overall – Really good dose of hops, but there is a little bit of adjunct flavour going on. Just a little too much grain/corn taste. Still a good beer, just not as good as the some of the other AIPA's.
