So it’s 10am here in central time, so I’ll put this out now: if you have a party today, or get to grilling, just remember that some of my friends gave their lives so you can wear American flag shorts, flip flops, summer dresses and eat burnt hamburger.

From a buck & 1/2 bottle, clean looking attractive beer. Pillowy head. Smells like reserved lager. Ooo, initial bud impact us more than expected for mannered golden or blondie. Good co2 however and my palate soon gets a little more used to this. Yes, becomes a little friendly towards the middle but some of those mild negative ale attributes remain. Let me knock them down like a whack a mole with a bigger swig, eh? Over all experience was pretty good for an ale, heheh.

Sample at Great Taste of the Midwest on 08/09/2014, with Boadicea hops: Slightly cloudy orange-yellow color with a medium white head that recedes steadily. Short strings of lace. Aroma of hops, tropical fruit and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of floral hops, sweet fruit and bready malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short fruity hops aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Can. Clear golden pour. Minimal head and no lacing. IDK whats going on here. Completely forgettable beer. Grainy and a bit sweet, with very light citrus notes. I would never have beleived it was a Summit ale.

12 oz. can thanks to Skyview for this. Slightly hazy gold color with a fluffy soapy white head. Active carbonation. Aroma is light grain, citrus and wheat. A mild earthy note when warm.

Flavor is much of the same. Grain, crackers and a touch of earthy, grassy hops. Real light in body with a clean, short finish. It does have a light effervescent mouthfeel from the carbonation. Very easy to drink and since it is now offered in cans, it’s a brew you can take to a local BBQ or summer party.
