Albert. Able. Gordo. Miss Baker. Bonny. Goliath. Between 1948 and 1961 these primate pioneers and others bravely went where no man had ever gone before, paving the way for manned U.S. spaceflight. This hoppy little monkey of a beer is a tribute to those Simian heroes of yesteryear. It has a citrusy, floral hop aroma, a strong malt body, and a crisp finish.

Can. Pours clear amber with a medium white head that dissipates with nice lacing. Aroma is caramel, spruce, floral. Flavor is medium sweet, almost candylike; perhaps cotton candy? Definitely floral notes as well, with medium bitterness. Very odd, but not necessarily bad. Medium body.

Draft at J Clyde, Birmingham AL: Whole orange and cranberry nose. Copper, thin head. Drinks like it smells with a stupid amount of orange peel. Soft, cask-like carbonation, but a little hot. fruity and different. I couldn’t believe this is an IPA. Unique.

On tap at the Nook. Pours dark orange with a medium head and lots of lacing. The aroma is strong pine and citrus hops, and a little caramel. The flavor is very bitter, with very little malt backbone. The palate is medium to heavy and sticky with a significant bitter aftertaste. Overall, a good IPA, unabashedly hoppy.
