Brooklyn Summer Ale

Way too much burnt popcorn for my tastes. I honestly thought I would come here and find that this was a kolsch, considering that all American Kolschs I have had tasted very much like this beer.

Light gold color. Smells of skunked malts and wheat. Luckily the taste is much better than the smell. Has a smooth summer ale taste. Leaves a little bit of an aluminum taste in the mouth after.

Bottle. Pours a clear yellow with a two finger white head that dissipates quickly and leaves no lacing. Doughy aroma with grassy hops, English malt. Taste is bready, doughy, with some okay hops balancing. Watery mouthfeel. Crisp, clean aftertaste. Okay session beer. Nothing to rave about.

Well, it hit over 90 today, so I thought I would crack my first summer offering. This one fits the bill. It seems to be better than its parts. Very quaffable. Extra points because it is trying to be winpy yet flavorful. Decent amount of spices and citrus.

bottle. Pours a clear golden with a small frothy white head. The aroma is a corn malt and slghtly hpppy. Good sticky lacing along the glass. Medium mouthfeel, sweet hop taste with honey and a sweet finish. A good blond ale from Brooklyn.

Pours a yellowish color with a little white head. Aroma is hoppy as well as bready. Tastes rather nice with some spiciness and a bunch of bread and then a little layer of hops thrown on top of that. Overall, it is an ok session and probably good for the summer (whenever that comes to Boston in a month or two).

bottle thanks to bman1113vr. pale yellow pour with a small white head. nose is slightly hoppy with some spices. not much to taste though.

Bottle. Clear golden yellow pour. Small fizzy head. Aroma was spicy, with some wheat and corn. Flavor was little citrus, coriander, spice. Mouthfeel was fizzy and watery.
