Surfers know all too well that ankle-buster waves are barely big enough to surf on, but our Ankle-Buster Ale is bound to create a big wave. With an herbal hop character, fruity/spicy Belgian yeast aromas, toasty and caramel-like malt flavor, and a clean dry finish, Ankle-Buster carves its own path to refreshing, flavorful beer. Best enjoyed with both feet planted on sand.

Darron's Tasting Notes

Taking its name from a wave so small it’s hard to surf, or an ankle-buster, as it is known to surfers, this beer was a creation of the entire Pelican brewing team. It started with a general concept for an exciting new summer beer, and then everyone in the brewery contributed to the design of the beer’s characteristics: color, flavor profile, aroma, alcoholic strength, malt character, and hop character. The end result is a beer that carves out new flavor territory for the Pelican Pub & Brewery.
