21st Amendment IPA: 21

Taste: 7 Finish: 6 Visual: 4 Aroma: 4
Total: 21

Great huge head. Lots of lacing. Good cloudy amber color. The aroma has a bit of citrus, pine, and malt. It has a mildly bitter upfront taste which quickly falls away to a semi-sweet finish (for an IPA). It is very smooth throughout. Although it boasts a 70 IBU, it really is quite tame. Maybe a notch above Sam Adam's lager. Underneath it is a bit of orange juice and some grapefruit. It's a very drinkable IPA that won't wow you but it's good enough for most occasions when you don't want a hop bomb IPA.
