@ South Park Tavern. Yes, we have a lot of beers on tap at South Park. That’s because they run through a whole lot of good beer. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.Old 21 has a golden copper color with a white lacy head. The nose is a veritable hop explosion, specifically floral and piney hop aromas. It has a soft dry malt start, but quickly moves into a heavy hop body; there is heavy bitterness with floral, piney, and resiny notes in the middle which drops to a dry malt taste and straight bitterness towards the back, and then ends with a slight sweet creaminess, and lingering bitterness with some final grassy notes. Old 21 has a slick
and creamy mouthfeel couple with an aggressive hop profile. It did smooth out as it warms; bit sweeter, and a much better balance with the hops—not so bitter on the backend. Overall, though, a delicious beer—minimal alcohol flavor, and none of the heavy sweetness that marks many of the Imperial IPAs.photo credit kyleroth
