A hard-rocking Pale Ale that smacks the lips with tasty bitter hops and citrusy grapefruit shots to the nose. It finishes crisp and dry, sustaining like a windmill power chord. All of a sudden it hits you...this is the one.

ABLE 2018. Dark gold with a strong head. Modest citrusy floral nose. Medium malt body with a creamier mouthfeel than some APAs. Good hoppiness.

Dark orange color with good foam and light lacing pretty good flavor but I can't tell as much of the Citrus as I'd like to more of a caramel malt with some Pine and grass notes little happier than I would like to not a bad beer but I had some other expectations that weren't met.

Pours gold. Foamy, medium, white head lasts a while with good lacing.

Smells pale and caramel malt, citrus and light pine. Light off scent.

Tastes light toasted, grain, citrus peel and hint grassy. Followed by light caramel Malts and pine. Finish is dry with citrus peel linger. Lighter body and creamy medium carbonation.

Sparkling clear bright amber at first, but quickly filling to a snowglobe of chunky off-white specks, with a massive off-white foamy head.

Smell is metallic pine forest with light orange rind and biscuit. Pungent sweaty cat pee and rotting peach come in at full pour.

Taste is spicily hopped melon with apple, biscuit, orange, and pine. Toffee and bread fill in at full pour with pungent, funky wet rug. It actually can be quite complex at times, but is just not hitting the right notes, and the full pour makes this actually taste worse.

Medium to thin fizzy body with a dry finish.
