looks are a brighter goldish color with a decent head that turns to a soapy lacing. It smells of citrusy and floral notes coming through. Smells like an old school west coast ipa. Taste follows the nose well with a hit of citrusy and piney bitterness followed by a biscuit like maltiness. The mouthfeels is semi thin with some slickness. A decent ipa but not one of the best the end becomes fairly watery. I probably would not buy again.

Enjoyed, after lounging in a steam room, with orange and lemon wedges, walnuts, a splash of olive oil, and other fun stuff!
Pours a pale lemon, with a tiny bubbled head, great lacing and grand, multi-speed bubble streams rising delightful.
Smells of delicious citrus, and faint, malty pine.
A well-balanced creamy pine taste, clinging citrus arrives a moment later, hugging the throat's top and mouth's roof, with a sneaky buzz burn soon to follow. The grapefruit gulp crush, so common in IPAs, arrived late, towards the pint's middle.
A simple, high quality IPA, overlooked for too long! A good refresher if one has not had an IPA in a while.
Easy, earthy drinking.
The honey-bread booze-burn was but a brief moment.

Slightly hazy orange beer with a nice white head that leaves a good curtain of lacing. Smells sweet with orange and pine. A really pleasant aroma. Tastes fruity and piney with some caramel notes from the malt. Really solid and well balanced beer.

Cloudy orange colored. 3- to 4-finger head dissipating gradually, leaving lacing. Tropical-fruit aroma, mango. In the taste, nice malt-hop balance. Reminiscent of Bell's Two Hearted Ale, but with a bit more slightly bitter citrus pith in the finish. Pretty good, and definitely the best brew I've had from 21st Amendment so far. —Reviewed 2017/09/16
