21st Amendment Bitter American Session Ale, Extra Pale Ale with Bold Malt and Hop Flavors. 4.4% Alc./Vol. 42 IBU, 12 fluid ounces. Brewed and canned by 21st Amendment Brewery, San Francisco, CA.
Aroma: ah! Fresh and vibrant, citrus-y, grassy, pine forest floor-y. Everything you're looking for.
Taste: Brisk, hoppy bite at the fore, lasting long on the palate, then fading softly back. Lush pillow of malt rest comfortably below. Lean-bodied, easy drinking, a damned tasty pale ale. I guess that's not as fashionable as "session ale" these days, or "IPA", but whatever. Good beer, and you can drink it.
I get the name now. Cross between English Bitter and American Pale Ale. Play on "ugly American"?
