My favorite beer, ever. Fresh, summery, clean finish. I recommend this beer heartily.

Bottle- An aptly named summer brew. This one goes down smooth and easy. Well balanced flavor and smooth finish. A good choice for a summer afternoon with friends.

Pours with an amber body topped by a medium thick to thick off white head with some lacing. Sweet and fruity hop aroma with a good amount of malt showing through. Slightly sweet and fruity hop flavor well balanced with malt with a touch of bitterness. The finish is slightly bitter yet sweet from hops. medium bodied and smooth with a touch of dryness. I'm actually surprised to see the low ratings for this beer. IMHO it is a truly great pale ale.

Hazy orange color. No head. Malty fresh aroma. Flavor is malty with no hint of the hops I expected. Good, refreshing english pale ale.

Bottle at Andys. Clear orange in color with a nice head. Clear orange in color with a hoppy aroma. Decent flavor. Malty. Not bad. Enjoyable.

Very refreshing pale ale pours copper with decent head. Floral nose. Taste is smooth hops. Rated 5/22/05

a nice pale ale but not the best from this venerable microbrewery.

Fairly hoppy, like most of Bert Grant's beers, but not as hoppy as the APA style description would lead one to believe. Floral/herbal notes round out the flavor profile. Lazy Days is a nice pale ale, especially if you're lazy, like me. ;)

Malty, faint hops, a little bit watery, but something about this beer just speaks of warm summer days, boat docks, and relaxation. I love it. Exactly what it says it is.."A refreshing pale ale."
