Brew Free Or Die..... drinking

So I was at the liquor store earlier this week and I saw this interesting looking 6 pack microbrew.....in cans. It was just sitting there by it's lonesome, totally out of place so I had to pick it up.

Other than the homebrew the Nerds made for Breda this is one of the best beer names I've ever heard.

Live Free or Die IPA from 21st Amendment brewery.

The package says this beer starts with "a sucker punch of six different hops to the nose.". They were right.

I was anticipating a taste to match the smell and was a little let down. I was expecting more flavor and a heavier mouthfeel, yet this tasted light and easily quaffable for an IPA of 7% ABV.

I'll admit that I'm new to IPA's and the only one I have a taste for so far is Dogfish Head's 90 Minute IPA. Maybe I'm selling Brew Free or Die IPA short since I'm using the Dogfish for comparison.

It honestly wasn't bad, just wasn't everything I thought it'd be. Pickup a can and try it out if they have some near you. Buy at least one for the kickass name alone!

Expect some more beer blogging here in the near future.
