The Summer was made for backyard BBQs. Family. Beer. Plenty of beer. Because nothing washes family down better. This delicious and light ale was made with 100 lbs of house-smoked wheat malt imparting the very essence of grilling out. We then added 2.5# of salt to the boil for a savory note to compliment that watermelon. 12 pureed and added to the fermenter, post-fermentation to be exact. The resulting beer is a refreshing affirmation of life. Aromatically smoky, slightly sweet and grainy with a briny finish. The answer to all those sweaty hugs you’re going to have to endure from your favorite Aunt.

On keg at the Hanging Bat. Appearance - cloudy golden amber. Nice head. Nose - smoke up front, saltiness and fruit in there too. Taste - salty lemon up front then smoke follows it through. Palate - close to medium. Long lean dry texture, that blends into the finish, which has a nice linger. Overall - nice one.

Draft at Crafty Beer Guys. Hazy yellow color, white head. Aroma has smoke and melon. Taste is earthy, almost salty, with char and melon. Very strange. Can’t drink a lot of this one.
