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.

Having this in NY City after my band played there. Pours a golden colour with an average white head with small lace. Very mild malt aromas. Same for the taste. Refreshing if cold, but not much compared to their lager. An average summer ale.

12oz bottle pours gold / copper with white head. The aroma offers up mild puffs of floral hops and spicy hops with a slick smelling sugary maltiness off in the background. I think I also get sugar dusty marshmallows too. The taste is a mix of bad tasting sugary sweet floral hops and more pleasing notes of grainy malts and spicy hops. Overall the sweetness of this one out paces the more interesting fresh malty and hoppy notes.

Got a six pack at Borderline beverage in Seabrook, NH. I agree that most Summer Seasonal don’t have much flavor. Reason being they should be light, easy, warm weather drinkers. This one doesn’t pack in much flavor, but I did find a nice flavor of wheat malt, light lemon and faint hop in the finish. Flavor is balanced and has some amount of drinkablilty on a hot summer day. Not going to wow you, but not a bad choice for the beach or a summer picnic.

Pression @ OTH. dorée et blanche Arôme, houblon, citron assez ennuyante, note de foin et métallique. Palais, houblon avec un fini de lager, amertume couplée de citron, malt Munich avec une effervescence bien trop grande. Malt se fait faiblement présent surtout dans l’arrière-goût. Trop légère au palais, aspect de grains et surtout trop effervescente. Je n’ai vraiment pas accroché à cette bière, autant j’adore certaines de Blue Point celle-ci était vraiment ennuyante à boire.

(bottle) clean golden colour with small white head; aroma initially a bit skunky and cabbage; quickly dissipating leaving not much in in place; clean and balanced but simple flavour
