21st Amendment -Sneak Attack Saison

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

I still remember the first beer I had with cardamom in it (a seasonal by Magic Hat). I wasn't quite sure that I liked it. Five years later, I'm still skeptical. I'd pass (although the can art is once again fantastic).

21st Amendment - Monk's Blood 2011

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

This isn't too bad now. Lots of dark fruit flavors. Pretty prevalent alcohol. Fine enough after a year.

21st Amendment - Bitter American

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

I think I like this less than the DC Brau. Both of them are very quaffable, but I like the public ale better. The hops and bittering on this are just a little off for me.

21st Amendment - Fireside Chat

The spice mix does not work in this. The aftertaste lingers and isn't pleasant. Like bad, bitter medicine?

Yet more cool artwork/labeling from 21st Amendment.

The beer contained in the box (and cans) is enjoyable enough. Mildly sweet, maybe a hint of the dates. Decent enough bitterness. Not really memorable or anything to go out of your way to get.

21st Amendment - Hell or High Watermelon

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

I was always mildly curious to see what this tasted like, but never willing to spend $10 on a six pack, or $5 on draft to find out. I found a single can on sale for $1.79 and figured it was finally time.


So... it definitely tastes slightly like watermelon. But beer probably shouldn't taste like watermelon. Not enjoyable.

21st Amendment Hop Crisis

From Joe Drinks Dinner and Stuff

I had this on draft a long while ago. I thought it was a decent IPA, but didn't think the oak-aging really added much to the beer.

I think that opinion still stands, although I'd upgrade from "decent" to "very good". But I get two more Two Hearted Ale's for the same exact price... soo...

21st Amendment Monks Blood

Hmm. Well, its interesting. I think.

Not to sweet. Maybe a little bitter. Maybe a hint of raisin? I don't know. Its tastes weird. Not sure I like it.



Bonus Mandy Thoughts:
It smells like markers.

I want to like it. Its not sickly sweet. Its cold & carbonated.

But yeah, I guess its like someone dropped some candy in a beer. But the beer taste won out.

21st Amendment Back in Black

Slightly bitter but with a nice roast malt taste. Almost just a bitter porter.

If I recall correctly, this was a hit with the table.

21st Amendment Brew Free or Die IPA

Pretty good IPA. More on the hoppy fruity side, not a lot of malty sweetness. I'd buy it again.
