COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Just when you’ve had enough of winter, we release Alaskan Summer Ale in March. This traditional Kölsch beer is a great way to celebrate warmer weather and more daylight. Its crisp, clean flavor is the perfect complement for crab, halibut, salads and longer days.

Ungstrup (23917) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 4, 2008
Draft at Pizza Port, Carlsbad. A light golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of fruit, peaches, and oranges, as well as notes of vitamin pills. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of peaches and citrus, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is thin. Boring.

Hazy orange color, small white head. Grainy, slightly bready and lemony aroma. Lemony, light lemon, a bit grainy. A bit too bready and American hoppy for being "a real kölsch".
