6 Alberts is a session IPA given to us by Straight to Ale. I've really started enjoying these session IPAs. This one pours a lightness that reminds me of a west coast IPA or blonde. A very respectable white thick froth and nose of sweet heavy citrus (more orange) pine. The taste and mouthfeel is a dry full bitterness. STA has taken the "monkey" astronaut to a whole new level. During space exploration between 1948-52 six primates were used experimentally. Bet they didn't have this 4.2%abv bevvy on board or maybe the Citra and Amarillo combo would have helped them through their tests. Then again neither of those varieties were available then. Poor monkeys.
