So, grab yourself a Blah Blah Blah IPA and celebrate this plentiful style and hoppy indulgence.” IPAs are here to stay and Blah Blah Blah in many ways is a tribute to their prevalence and popularity and we love it. With nine different hop varietals, on top of late-kettle boil additions, this beer has a juicy, hop chewy flavor. This is a deep gold color, double IPA (of course) and jammed packed with hop flavors and aromas. 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. ![]() Trivia: According to the brewery website, “We are huge fans of IPA and love our hops like anyone else, but we also like to have fun. I saw this beer sitting in the cooler at my local beer store and since I wasn’t looking for anything in particular, I threw it in the cart. This was a solid beer and one I would search out again. A can of this was $2.17, which came to $.18 per ounce. The finish was lengthy with watermelon rind. The body was on the lighter side with lots of carbonation. There was also notes of white vinegar and yeast. It had watermelon flesh and rind up front. The taste had a decent amount of tartness and reminded me of watermelon Berliner weisse. The nose had notes of watermelon rind, yeast and lemon juice. The body was a cloudy, bright yellow with moderate carbonation visible. It dissipated quickly and left no lacing on the glass. This beer poured with a one finger, white head. I love when restaurants use it in salads, especially with blueberries and a light citrus vinaigrette. Random: Watermelon is one of my favorite fruits. Trivia: According to the brewery website, “We have transformed our summertime watermelon wheat beer into Watermelon Funk, a mind blowing, shake your booty, interlocking sour bass lines with syncopated sweet fruit notes and downbeat aromas and we give you all that in a signature groove with the hip and sway of Lady Liberty.” This was a Summer go-to beer for me for years, so when I saw that they came out with a sour take on the beer, I had to try it. One of the beers that I had when I started the blog was 21st Amendment’s Hell Or High Watermelon. A can of this was $1.67, which came to $.14 per ounce. There was a little bit of blood orange, but not nearly as much as I would have liked. It had some pine notes and quickly transitioned into orange juice and grapefruit zest. It started with oranges and lemon zest and then went into grapefruit. The body was mostly clear and had a lot of carbonation visible. It dissipated at a moderate pace, but left some lacing on the glass. This brew poured with a two and a half finger, slightly off-white head. ![]() I’m curious to see what the next craze is. As Abe would say, ‘Whatever you are, be a good one.'” Blood Orange Brew Free! is brewed like our original west coast style Brew Free! or Die IPA, but with an abundance of fresh blood orange puree and a twist of citrusy dry hops. Because sometimes, real fruit just makes things even more delicious. ![]() Trivia: According to the brewery website, “Four hop varieties and seven blood oranges ago, our founders brought forth in this brewery, a new beer, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that not all IPAs are created equal. The original beer is one that I had years ago, so I was interested on this one. Tonight’s beer is a new take on an old standard from 21st Amendment.
