Pale Ale w/ Sabro, Citra and Ekuanot hops

Life is like a box of pull tabs. You never know what you’re gonna get. Some days you’re up, some you’re down. With that in mind, we crafted this brew to roll with the punches. The hops in this one are ever changing, so check to see whats hot.

I am going to abandon my normal eloquent, witty, urbane reviews to just say this is the ugliest beer I've ever had. My nurse wife said it looked like stomach bile: a nasty brownish mix of piss, poo, & unsavories. The taste was simultaneously dull & not good. It only took a few sips for me to move on to a Todd for my drinking pleasure.

Not good. Blackstack continues to have more misses than hits. Trending down.

The first of their new series.

Can. This is my 4th can but the only one with a brownish color. Very ugly. Not sure what happened.

Earthy, citrusy, fruity. Mango, melon, and orange. The off color doesn’t seem to affect the taste very much if at all.

Nope. I was really excited for this. A BS Pale Ale; it’s no different from any other BS sweet beer minus the alcohol content. I expected a cleaner and refreshing taste. It’s more like 755 meets a splash of water.

Pours a hazy golden straw color with a fresh white head and lacing. Smell was light with citrus and berries some herbal notes. Taste citrus ,lemon,lime and fruity berries,had some herbal notes in finish. Soft mouth feel with medium carbonation lite on the hops and chalky sweetness. Refreshing with a lower ABV very drinkable.
