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.

Tap @ Boston/NY 2009. Named southwest summer ale. Slight hazy golden color, medium head. Quite carbonated. Bit wheat, bit sweet. Quite boring taste.

Sampled on draft at the Headkeeper in Greensburg PA this beer poured a pale yellow color with a medium sized white head that faded quickly. The aroma was bland with faint dry malts. The flavor was dry and a bit nutty with a faint hint of floral hops. The finish was long and dry. Bland.

Bottle. Pours a light yellow with a thin, fizzy head. Weak nose of wheat and some mild citrus. Flavor is light and crisp, some hints lemony and tartness, along with some metallic notes. Very light body, very bubbly and, as I said, crisp. Nothing special but probably refreshing on a hot day. (I drank it in late November.)

Sampled on tap at Blue Point in Patchogue. Admittedly I tried this the 2nd weekend of October. Pours a clear gold with zero head. Great. Aroma is grassy with some hay and some sweetness. Flavor is a bit off, almost stale, sweet but flat. Finish is watery. Forgettable and bordering on hard to drink. This might have been great on June 1st, but on October 10th this was fatally flawed.

12 oz bottle. Pours a light translucent golden color with a white head. Aroma is malts, caramel, light sweetness. Flavor is a touch of lemon, malts - not much in terms of hops.

12 ounce bottle from Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear golden color with a thin head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma is caramel, butter and butterscotch. Taste is butterscotch and light grassy hops. Watery texture, thin bodied. This one is a train wreck. 4/3/4/2/9

Yeasty hay aroma. Clear yellow, thin white head. Tastes mainly of wheat malt. with a lemony edge. Hopless and hellesish. Refreshing, but leaves you feeling incomplete. Add some cascade hops and you might have a decent beer.

12 oz bottle-pours a foamy white head and yellow color. Aroma is husk/cereal/light malt, herbal/vegetal. Taste is husk/cereal/light malt-some caramel, herbal/vegetal, slight continental hops. Cardboard-mild/minimum carbonation. Very American Pale Lager (macro) like.
