Named after the little waves that cross the ankles, Ankle Slapper is a modern, West Coast pale ale designed in collaboration with surfers. The modern character of Ankle Slapper is emphasized by the use of single hop and the use of Mosaic hops. The caramel molds of the malt base give the beer a beautiful color and create a harmonious background for the fresh aromas of Mosaic.

The multidimensional, light tropical fruity nuances of Mosaic stand out well in this beer. The whole is suitably characteristic, but still fresh and easy to drink.

Can [from Euro Secret Summer Santa 2017, thanks to VastActiv] @ home. Clear orange golden color, full sized off-white head that diminishes fairly quickly. Aroma is malts and a very weird kind of fruit. Kinda reminds me of lychee. Flavor has it too, very weird fruitiness. No very bitter, again quite sweet, a sort of hop sweet. Average body, soft almost low carbonation. Ok beer.
