Tap to rate

Soft floral hops and light malt shape this 4.4% American lager, which pours a bright, pale straw. It is built on 2-row pale and Carafoam malts with Magnum and Saaz hops and finishes lean and crisp. The brewery pitches it for tailgates, backyard grills and a second can. 21st Amendment's story began in 2000 with a brewpub in San Francisco's South Park neighborhood.

◐ Taste

The palate enters clean and crisp, with a lean body that allows hop flavor to shine through. Subtle malt sweetness from the base grain bill provides foundation without cloying; Magnum and Saaz hops deliver restrained bitterness and herbal complexity. The finish drives toward dryness with a refined, non-aggressive profile.
