Black IPA IN A CAN! Yeah, I know. Awesome. 21st Amendment you’re pretty cool. Shortly after 21st Amendment’s launch in Atlanta a new release has arrived. A dark cousin to 21A’s (cool people way of referencing 21st Amendment) premiere IPA in a can “Brew Free or Die IPA” is “Back in Black.”
Back in Black more than a Black IPA, it”s historical! As the 21st describes –
“Inspired by Paul Revere’s midnight ride, we rebelled against the British style IPA, embraced the more aggressive American version and then recast it in bold, brave, defiant black. Our Black IPA is a Declaration of Independence from the tyranny of the expected.
“Back in Black is our newest year-round beer available now in six pack cans and on draft. Brewed like an American IPA but with the addition of rich, dark malts, this beer has all the flavor and hop character you expect with a smooth, mellow finish.”
Ingredients:
Flavor Hops: Columbus, Centennial
Bittering Hops: Columbus
Dry Hops: Centennial, Simcoe.
Malts: Rahr Pale Malt, Crystal 45L, Munich, De-Bittered Black
Yeast: Ale
Taste Expectations: Dark Malts- chocolate & roasted. Slight coffee if you dig. Pine & grapefruit hops. Some bitter. Again, it’s an IPA brewed with dark malts.
Availability – 12oz/6 pk CANS! and Draft.
7.2% ABV
