Friday IPA | 21st Amendment Brewery

3.85/5  rDev 0%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

On tap at 21st Amendment. Listed on the board as 8% ABV and as being dry-hopped with Simcoe hops.

Pours a clear copper color with a nice medium-sized white head.

Aroma is piney and citrusy hops along with some caramel malty sweetness.

Flavor is about what you'd expect from a well-balanced west coast IPA. Some caramel malt, but hops are the star of the show. Citrusy Simcoe notes evident with grapefruit and orange, as well as some piney qualities.

Medium body with very slight syrupiness and some mild palate-wrecking qualities.

Drinkability is decent. Overall this is a pretty solid IPA (or maybe IIPA).
