Alaskan Summer Ale

Golden colour. Hint of citrus. Good Hoppy flavour. Drinks smooth and clean.

Light citrus and spice with a touch of light pumpkin. While nice I don’t know if I could tell it apart from any other Summer Ale.

Bottle. Pours a nice golden color with a small white head that lingers for a long time. I like the label. Has a nice hoppy/malt taste, that is also kind of sweet and bitter. Feels really good on the tongue. Overall, this is a pretty tasty and easy to drink beer that doesn’t cost much.

~Pours a very light golden yellow color with small diminishing white head. ~Sweet honey and malt scent. ~Light sweet honey like flavor with some dusty hop bitterness. Light spiciness. ~Light feel, light bitter aftertaste. ~Very easy to drink. Taste a bit watered down. Pretty boring. I wouldn’t turn it down if offered, but I won’t buy it again.

Bottle. Pours a sunshine gold color with a very thin white head. There is citrus in the faint aroma. The citrus is repeated in the flavor with a nice hops/malt balance. Good brew, but I prefer a bit more character in my beer. Good beer for a hot summer day.

6/14/08 On draught at the Washington Brewers Festival. Aroma is all sweet malt with a cornlike pils quality and a light noble hop background. Appearance is clear yellow with a medium white head. Flavor is sweet/sour malt forward with medium noble hop bittering and light fruitiness. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium carb texture and a slightly resiny finish. Overall, very easy drinking and demonstrates a suprising amount of classic European character.

dark orange, light wheat aroma. malty wheat taste sweetness on nose bitter on finish

12oz bottle. Gold color with a big, brilliant white head. Light aroma with fruity pear and spicy hops. The flavor has a nice clean malt body with light fruitiness and low bitterness, though enough hop balance to make it interesting. Pretty refreshing, but the fruitiness is a little much after the aroma belies a cleaner taste.
