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.

0,44l can from K-Supermarket Lasihytti. Canned 02.07.2020, BBE 02.03.2021. Clear copper beer with small and quite quickly vanishing head. Aroma has caramel malts and fruity hops. Flavor has caramel malts, fruity hops and some pine. Caramel malts are quite dominating and this is not very fresh, but decent and enjoyable it is, however.

Smell of hops, grass. Amber colour, very high white head. Aroma of hops, some earth, a faint of grapefruit. Medium bitter, light body. Lively carbon. Decent, but boring.

Can, courtesy of EuroSanta VastActiv, many thanks! Pours clear and shiny amber with a white head of a short lifetime. Aroma is grassy and floral hops, tropical fruit too, some fruit salad. Body is medium, softly sweet and rather hoppy (grass and flowers again), decent bitterness on a lively carbonation, and plenty of that. Would profit from a stronger malt backbone. Good flavours, but the texture is not perfectly tuned. Good.Rerating, as this beer significantly changed after 10-15 minutes in the glass. Paper, cardboard, grains. Turns a 3.6 into a 3.1 or so. I'm leaving the old rating as it is.

Pours amber, clear, white foam. Creamy nose, light malts, bit of hops. Taste is grainy with a hint of relatively balanced hops. OK drinking, not that special though.
