Commercial Description:
This copper colored ale is a silky, creamy dream. It’s malty, very mildly hopped, and lightly sweet, with a delicate hint of spice for that oh-so-drinkable, extra velvety flavor. A cool beer for the heat, whatever your latitude!

Pours a clear medium amber color. Aromas of floral, semi-sweet notes. Seemed sweet to me with a nice bitter end. This would be a great golf course summer session beer.

Drinking this one as we speak. Pours a strikingly translucent golden amber. Nose has a bit of annoying spice, that almost made me sneeze. Spicy citrus fruits are very dominant, along with some biscuity maltiness, all mixed up in a very creamy potion that is not all that easy to drink. Kind of over the top for a cream ale this has a moderate artifical fruit flavor at times. Not the best thing I have ever had from AVBC

Bottle. Clear amber pour with a moderate off-white head that diminished slolwy. Moderate sweet spice fruity aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Full fruity spice flavor with a smooth finish of average duration. Solid refreshing summer brew.

Creamy, spicey nose. Hoppy, spicey, and again..creamy flavor. Not the most hoppy beer out there, but I think thats kind of the point of a summer beer. To be light, and easy to make a session out of. Enjoy on the boat dock!

Again, I hate to say anything bad about AVBC, but this is not my favorite brew. It is close to my wife’s favorites, though -- which proves, again, there is no accounting for taste. Remarkably similar to the AVBC Winter Solstice ... this one has more diacetyl in the nose and flavor.

Thin off-white head, amberorange body. Mild sweet toffee aroma with a hoppy note. Sweet and candied caramel flavor, rather artificial and cloying. Taste like a liquid mars bar....... Weird and not very interesting. Thanks Rene!

Sweet aroma of lightly toasted malts. Slight head upon an amber body. Sweetish, toasted grain flavor, light in the wheaties department, with a hint of spice. Not the worst.
