Aug 11, 2009 Pouts straw color with a white head. Smells of light perfume, some toasted malt. Tastes of some light, sweet malt and perfumy with an earthy finish.

The Alaskan Brewery Summer Ale has made absolutely no impression in my memory. If it weren’t for my notes, I doubt I’d even remember I’ve drunk it. Be that as it may, this beer is absolutely, entirely drinkable, especially in the season for which it’s name. And that might be all there is to say. A light, grainy, crisp aroma with delicate notes of honey suckle, and a watery, even dense, mineral water quenching effect. Not a whole lot of taste, but I wouldn’t expect it either. Maybe the perfect beer to bring to hot summer day gatherings in Seattle. Entirely drinkable and entirely forgettable.

Jul 24, 2009 Clear golden with a fleeting white head. Honey and earthy mango sweet aromas. Light/medium body. Flavors of pale grainy malts, lightly sweet honey, and a tropical fruit earthyness. Easy drinking.

Jul 22, 2009 Bottle. Pours crystal clear golden orange with a nice white head that fell off to a dense layer of foam covering the top of this golden brew. Aroma is
light maltiness with a slight touch of hops. Flavor is malty up front, giving way to the hallertauer hops. Some honey sweetness giving way to spicy hops in the finish. Not bad at all, it’s Clean, it’s smooth even though it’s quite effervescent, on the other hand it seems to have pretty good head retention with a touch of lace left behind.

Jul 21, 2009 Bottle. Poured with a spare, white head that diminished quickly to a thin film. Body was clear and flat, with a dark-yellow color. Aroma was of light malt and some slight citrus. Light-bodied and thin on the palate, with average carbonation. Taste was of a short duration, but it was good... lightly sweet, again with some citrus. Overall it was fine, but nothing great. High drinkability in that it goes down very easy.

Jul 18, 2009 Clear orange pour. Pleasant aroma. Citrus and zesty spices on the nose. Flavor is very zesty! Lots of spice and orange in it. Finish dries out and has a dried orange feeling. Good!
