A light and refreshing American Ale, made with pale malt and crystal hops. She was inspired by my Mother's Mother, Granny Ruth because of her love and support. Don't be Ruthless. Have one on Granny.

12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass. Screw top?! What the hell, HotD!
Appearance - Clear orange until the sediment flows in. Then its hazy and chunky. Small white head that only leaves some wisps and nice lacing.
Smell - Not what I expected. Mild hop aroma. Kinda floral. More impressed by the fruit character it has. Like pineapple. Smells kinda like a light tripel.
Taste - Again with the fruits. Banana comes through here. Some clove. A little bit of citrus. A little bit of graininess. Bitterness is pretty strong. Has a slight Belgian character here too.
Mouthfeel - Light and drinkable. Pretty bitter, but I don't mind it. Medium carbonation.
Overall - Interesting take that I rather enjoyed. Nothing like a standard pale ale.

This pours a light gold with a pleasing hop character. I like the grainy backing, reminiscent of a toasted cereal note. Clean, crisp, just what I want in a pilsner—although it’s listed as a pale ale. What’s going on here?
