Salted Grapefruit Habanero Pale Ale
Maumee Bay Brewing Company

Had on tap at Packo's by the Park on a day trip down to Toledo. Served in a pretty huge shaker pint (Egészségedre!) to the brim, with a little drifting island of foam on top. Aroma is clean biscuit malt with floral and grapefruit notes. On the tongue, the salt hits first, nicely balanced with a sweet/tart grapefruit wash. No habanero in the flavor. At first I thought it was possibly an old batch, but then the heat showed up, a nice, pleasant warmth that tickled the tongue and down the thoat. The heat on this one was amazingly balanced, it adds to the drinking experience without becoming distracting or uncomfortable to finish. I hope to see this one released again.
