Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a hazy golden with a white head. A melon-like fruity aroma. Medium body, quite dry and fruity with a bitter finish. Carbonation is a little high but rather quaffable. 071112

From a 330ml bottle on 29/4/2012. Pours a cloudy dark golden orange with a small head. The aroma is dominated by fruit, with some light honey and floral notes. The flavour features stone fruits, some English pale ale yeastiness, and a slightly spicy hop bitterness. This is solid IPA, if perhaps a touch subdued. Definitely worth a try, but I preferred their Galaxy and Stella single hops.

Pours dark amber with a small fading head.Nose shows masses of fruity hops, with apricot and pine along with softer melon. Underneath is cookie dough-like malt and caramel.Flavours are similar; melon, caramel, pine, but somewhat faint. Finishes with a bold bitterness.Could use a thicker body and more carbonation.

"Summer" refers to the hop, not the season it seems - but this is very summery. Bottle. Cloudy amber with a white head. Delicate aroma of honeydew melon with some grapefruit. Light bodied. A little bread under melon and white nectarine. Dry finish with decent bitterness. Some citrus along with earthy spices. Very refreshing. Constrained in that it seems to have no object other than to show off the hop variety - but does it well.
