Brooklyn Summer Ale

if we don’t pick up the pizza in 30 minutes, we don’t have to pay for it ... light flower aromas .. . medium head .. . golden on the pour .. . light flowery refreshment .. . no off flavours .. . simple but enjoyable .. .

Golden color with thin watery head and a good carbonation spiral. smell was a little zesty at first but came down to strong biscuit like malts afterward.flavor was all about the bready goodness. a summer beer that concentrates on the malt instead of all lemon hops is a nice change.

Sampled at the 8th Annual Music City Brewer’s Festival. Dark yellow orange, white head. Aroma is spicy yeast notes, sweet malt. Taste is more spicy esters, must, sweet corn.

0.355L bottle, light copper bordering on the orange, almost no head, aroma of rose petals and some light citrus, smooth hoppy bitternes, citrus, bread and a touch of spice, pleasant sour aftertaste, smooth drinking with just the right amount of flavour. Nice to see a Brooklyn which is balanced and does not throw a hoppy punch at you.

Aroma is similar to English Blond Ales, with plenty of bread, but lighter hops. Golden pour with plenty of carbonation, head was gone quickly. Flavor offers some light orange spice, bread and nearly no hops. Palate had a pleasant lively bubbliness, probably the best part of this drink. Smooth drinking for the summer, but smooth does not have to equal less flavor.

Pours a honey/ copper pours fast a carbonated, leaving a very thin white head. The nose is light with citrus and fruit tones... maybe lemon, some banana? The taste is complex with mild hops balancing the malts. The beer is a bit thin and almost watery, still very nice for the style.

Draft. This pours an amber color with white head. The color is darker than I anticipated. It Smells good, very fresh and hoppy. Citrus and grass. It tastes bitter, vaguely hoppy and some dirty malt sweetness. Chlorine Finish. Light body, watery. It smells good, but is not impressive overall.

From a bottle. Pours clean and golden with a strong white full head. Soft aroma of malt. Hops come in subtle towards the end giving it a somewhat dry finish. True to the commercial desription, more of an English summer ale than anything else. Not my favorite beer, but it grows on you and is a light option when you do not want a wheat ale.
