21st Amendment Blah Blah Blah IPA Double IPA 0528 Wetness Factor

 

21st Amendment Blah Blah Blah IPA Double IPA 0528 Wetness Factor. (Not sure what that last part means.) 8% ABV, 65 IBU. 21st Amendment Brewing, San Leandro, CA.

Lightly clouded, bright golden tone, large, lush ivory head. 

In the nose: big dank. Citrus and stone. Candied orange and peach. 

In the mouth: large and in charge bitterness, with a side of sweet. Boards the palate brash and confident. Medium bodied, long bitter/hoppy finish. Classic Double IPA dankness. A bit on the funky side, but I’m liking that. 

Here at the 21st Amendment Brewery we are huge fans of IPA and love our hops like anyone else, but we also like to have fun. Our Blah Blah Blah IPA is a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the popularity of

this style and all the sub-styles that have become part of craft beer conversations and offerings.  At 8% ABV, our Blah Blah Blah IPA is a deep gold color, double IPA (of course) and is jammed packed with hop flavors and aromas. With nine different hop varietals including Equinox and a one, two, three, 2-pound per barrel dry hop punch of Mosaic, Citra and the latest Idaho 7 hops. On top of all that the late-kettle boil additions give this beer a juicy, hop chewy flavor. A firm grain bill of Pilsner, Golden Promise, honey, wheat and Vienna malts gives great structure and support backing the complex confluence of hops.
