Commercial Description:
A light-bodied brew with a light golden hue. Subtle biscuit-like maltiness with a crisp carbonation and tangy Noble hop character with a big enticing aroma. Even though this english-style wheat beer is technically called a "Summer Ale" it is the perfect choice any time you're looking for something light and refreshing that's big on flavor but light on body and alcohol.

This special beer was created in collaboration with Ypsilanti's own Tree Fort Bike Shop and mountain biking team. Arbor Brewing Company has long supported the Michigan Mountain Biking Association and recently became the beer sponsor for the Tree Fort team. So we were thrilled to have the opportunity to create a beer for and to help raise awareness of Michigan's great mountain biking scene. We chose the English-style Summer Ale because it is the perfect thirst-quencher after a hard race. It's sort of the classic lawnmower beer re-imagined for a more sophisticated beer palate. It is proof that you can have a refreshing and quenching brew without compromising flavor.

On tap at HopCat, Grand Rapids. Hazy light orange-brown body, thin buff head. Light cerealy nose with diacetyl notes. Light body with nutty, cerealy notes and grassy hops. Fairly dry, easy to drink, but boring.

On tap 09.19.08. Opaque golden orange, off white head. Aroma is malty and faint. Having a hard time detecting the aroma, actually. Flavor is malty, wheaty, hoppy, medium body but weak flavor. I’m not impressed.

12oz - Aroma is appealing bready, straw, pale malts and a touch of lemon. Pours cloudy orange with a big fluffy head and great lacing. Flavor matches aroma. Palate is crisp. Refreshing and tasty.

Sampled @ Hopcat’s. Candy!!!! This was one of the most impressive wheat beers I have had. Color is a yellowish color with fluffy head, even for a sample size. Taste is ridiculosly candy like. Very enjoyable.

Bottle: Pours yellow with a thick head. Aroma of wheat and spices. Flavor of hops and wheat with a spicy finish. Good summer beer.
