21st Amendment Toaster Pastry India Style Red Ale

21st Amendment Toaster Pastry India Style Red Ale. 7.6% Alc./Vol., 74 IBUs.

An odd name, but I'm sure there's a reason for it. Sixteen ounce can poured into a Spiegelau glass, clear, with bright crimson coloring, a huge head, slow to draft and leaving lace.

Aroma is burst with fruity esters and bitter notes. All the citric and tropical flavors, with juicy malt in the mix, too. Nicely balanced blend.

In the mouth: Big bitterness on the tongue, matched swiftly by the rising mass of juicy malt. Fine acrobatics here. Long bitterness in the finish, never quite quitting the palate. Tasty and refreshing. Yeah, I'd have another. Well done.

What's the label have to tell us? Read it here.
That's much easier than me trying to read the damned thing, then re-type it here. Anyway, lovely stuff, go drink it.
