American Pale Ale 5.2 º 35 IBU

Fat Lizard Brewing Co.

Ankle Slapper is a vibrant American Pale Ale that captures the essence of a West Coast classic with a modern single-hop focus. Showcasing Mosaic, the sensory experience is defined by a burst of tropical mango, ripe blueberry, and bright citrus zest, underpinned by a subtle, resinous pine note. The malt profile remains intentionally restrained, providing a clean, bready foundation that allows the complex hop character to lead. This beer pours with brilliant clarity and delivers a crisp, refreshing finish. It balances a firm bitterness with a lean, dry body, creating an approachable and highly drinkable profile perfect for a coastal session.

Appearance. Pale golden to light amber (SRM 5-7) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderately large, white, persistent head that leaves fine lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderately high hop aroma featuring distinct notes of blueberry, mango, and tropical stone fruit from the Mosaic hops. Subtle citrus and light pine resin are present. Malt is low and neutral-grainy, with a clean fermentation profile free of heavy esters.

Taste. High hop flavor echoing the aroma with mango, citrus, and a hint of berry. Moderate to high hop bitterness provides a firm, crisp structure. The malt flavor is supportive and crackery, lacking caramel sweetness. The finish is dry and clean with a lingering but pleasant resinous hop aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate to high carbonation. The texture is smooth and refreshing, showing no astringency and a very light, well-integrated alcohol presence.
