21st Amendment Bitter American

I had heard of this brewery before because of this blog, so I knew that what I was getting into was probably going to be good, but to be honest with you, I probably would have bought this craft brew just because the packaging jumped out at me. First of all, it comes in cans, which are becoming increasingly popular. Then of course, there's the picture on the cans. Who can say no to a chimp in a space suit? 21A say that the plan behind this beer was to create something lighter in alcohol that could be consumed over a longer period of time. I think they did it rather nicely with this beer. There is a lot of late hopping or possibly a dry-hop aroma in this beer that goes along with a malt bill that gives this beer tons of flavor, but not nearly as much bitterness or alcohol as some of the other products I've reviewed on this blog. It's actually a refreshing change to what seems like an ABV arms race of sorts that has been developing over the past couple of years. Thank you, Bitter American. Delicious.
