For those who like their hops, Summer Shield is a beer brimming with hop character both on the aroma and on the taste. A brand new hop variety is used in Summer Shield and judging by initial reports we will be seeing a lot more of this one.

On tap at the Rake. Hazy gold beer, not much of a head. Light palate, semi dry with mild carbonation. Okay citrus orange marmalade with traces of grapefruit and lemon. Dry finish, mild citric aftertaste. Alright.
