Commercial Description:
During the days of prohibition, folk heroes were born and gangsters controlled the alcohol trade. Today, you don't have to be Dillinger to enjoy this classic American Pale Ale built on hops from the Pacific Northwest. Savor Gangster's bold, clean taste in peace.

Refreshing and clean, but not out of the world. Sufficient, even if not amazing. Thanks to Thomas for sending this.

Draft sample at Keg Fest. Poured clear golden color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate malt & sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body. Medium bitter flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.

12oz - Aroma of pale malts, straw and dry grass. Pours transparent copper with a small head and good lacing. Flavor matches aroma with a touch of hops and some lingering sweetness. Palate is crisp and clean. Drinkable, but nothing special.

Bottle (with a low fill line, I might add). A rush of crackery, slightly mildewy grassy funk coming out of the bottle on opening, but after the beer had been poured into a glass, the aroma settled into a more recognizable musty hop presence. Some citrus (orange) and week-old mango. Pours a pale amber-orange, calm with a scant white head. Taste is dry and very bitter, certainly approaching IPA levels, with a dry and slightly gritty finish. The sweaty, sweatsock-influenced pungency is actually appealing to me, perhaps reminding of other things. Smooth medium body finishes very dry with a lightly bitter dose of bread. I do think I’d have this again.

8/02/2008: Gangster Pale Ale pours a hazy yellow color with an average, off-white head. The aroma has a light citrus (i.e. sweet lemon, hint of orange and peach) and a honey sweetness. The flavor has a decent balance of pale malty sweetness, a hint of mango, and a soft, citrus peel bitterness, but overall it is fairly unremarkable and plain. It has an average body with prickly carbonation. Drinkable, but not terribly unique or rememorable.

12 Fl Oz bottle from tish. Thank you Tish! Rating #4 for this beer...

Hazy orange pour with a white head. Aroma of pale malts and citrus. Medium body. Citrus and pale malt flavor with a yeast finish.

Single bottle purchase at Pat-apostrophe-s Liquors in Porter, IN: This pours a yellow/gold body with lazy bubbling and a modest fizzy white head. The aroma is dusty grain topped with pine and citrus zest. The light, slightly sold grain remains in the flavor but the hop bitterness is replaced by a combination of grapefruit rind, lemon zest, and crushed orange pips. It finishes on a dry, sharply bitter note.

Aroma of hops, some citrus. Top was very large and off-white. Flavor of mild hops and faint grapefruit. Nothing special, but nothing offensive.
