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.

Keg at Black Door, Helsinki. Clear amber, small head. Generous aroma of lychee, caramel and gooseberry. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded, somewhat oily mouthfeel. Lychee and musty caramel. Balanced bitter finish.

Draught @ Black Door, Helsinki
Pours dark reddish orange with a smooth head. Aroma of caramely malts, hints of berries, fruits and grass. Taste is malty, crisp and a bit stuffy with loads of caramel, hints of toffee, berries and fruits. Finish is crisp, malty and bitter with hints of berries. Can’t locate much Mosaic here. A bit disappointing.

(Keg at Oljenkorsi, 20150627) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was medium sized, dense and it lasted long. Aroma was surprising mild and had mostly grapefruit. Palate was rather light bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were fruitiness, grapefruit, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was mostly bitter. A very thin brew.
