21st Amendment Bitter American:
Greetings and salutations beer lovers, drinkers and space program admirers.  Once again, we dip our sample mug into the vat at 21st Amendment Brewery and what a beer we got in return.  I’m a big fan and student of the space program and it’s history so any beer that rolls in even a suggestion of the early history of NASA and I’m sold.  Once again the can art is a big seller for yours truly and I have to admit I feel a but like Homer Simpson when finding beer with a monkey on the can and being totally infatuated.  Quick side note: Is the monkey happy, drunk or high?  Honestly he looks like he’s been hitting the bong before heading space side and now he’s got David Bowie’s “Young Americans” blaring in his helmet.  Back to reality, the beer pours well with a nice head on it that last for a few minutes before retreating to the edges of the glass.  The nose is citrus and malt that blend together nicely and there is plenty of carbonation in beer, even after drinking on the beer for a while there were still lines of ascending bubbles in the beer.  The flavor is a mix of malts and some bitterness from the hops that stay with you through the whole sip, never deviating from the front end of the sip to the back end with a bit of dryness as an after taste.  Probably one of the best pale ales I’ve had so far this year but in the pantheon of beer tasted this year, it’s in the top third right now.  I have to admit the can art intrigues me more than anything but of the two 21st Amendment beers I’ve had so far, this is the better of the two.
