The delicious, refreshing taste of Summer Ale comes from a substantial portion of wheat malt added to a traditional barley malt mix which gives this delicious brew a unique tartness not found in many light ales these days. No surprise – this light, thirst-quenching brew is best enjoyed on hot summer days.

Clear golden color, small white head. Bready, citrus fruity aroma. Light-bodied. Bready, citrus, pear fruity and earthy. Feels a bit old even it is brewed in Spring 2016. Meh. Fake craft.

Bottled@AIH66 Beer Session (from Saveur Biere). Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, some slight earthy notes along with some mild grainy and dough like notes. Flavour is fruity, floral, some herbal and mild nectary and wooden notes. Pleasant nectary and floral aftertaste.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Cigarette City. Appearance is cloudy pale yellow with greenish tinge, mild sparkle, small white ring of head and no lacing. Aroma is funky, musty tart over cracker malt. Taste is as aroma with mild citrus. Palate is medium bodied with watery texture, soft-to-average carbonation and finish like taste. Overall, thankfully this was cold so it was refreshing but the tart quality is not a plus.

The appearance was a golden color with a decent transparency about it. Mild carbonation was seen rising. Fizzy white head.
The aroma leans to some crisp sweet grassy hops. Some earthy bitterness tries to come across. Light lemon sweetness.
The flavor rides on a light lemon sweetness. Lemon drop sugary sweet aftertaste with a sticky sweet finish, and actually disheartening.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation seems level for what it is.
Overall, flavor seems a bit too sweet, imbalance with some cloying sweetness. Hard to say if I would come back to, I want to say most likely not. And don’t judge my review on the date I uploaded this because I have had this more than enough times fresh.

Pour is a clear gold with a large white head. Aroma is a neutral dull malt with a little lemon zest in there. Flavor is again the same some grainy malt with a ever so slight citrus zest. The perfect example of a beer that has nothing wrong with it but it is also not one thing to get excited about as well.
