Brooklyn Summer Ale

Brooklyn Summer Ale is an easy drinking alternative to beer drinkers who do not like wheat beers. It pours a clear golden with nice carbonation. The aroma is lightly malty and citrusy. The flavor is slightly floral with a zesty lemon after taste. It is very refreshing and easy to drink. A “no problem, let’s play 500 Rummy on the back deck” kind of beer.

12oz bottle from Lou’s in Augusta. Light amber almost yellow body with a thin film of off-white head. Citrusy hops and caramel malt equally share the aroma, though it’s not overpowering. Biscuit malt plays a big role, with some citrus hops in the background, along with hints of a mint-like quality. Again, not overpowering. Light in body making this very drinkable. All around enjoyable light summer beer, though having enough good flavor and aroma to satisfy. One of the best summer beers I’ve had.

Bottle: Quite the creamy head. Deep and robust aroma, crispy citric bite to it. Somewhat surprisingly hearty character. Usually brewers make "summer beers" as an excuse to make watery and flavorless yellow beers for the non beer-drinking crowd. This is the opposite ... fully flavored, richly malty, yet with a nice bready, hoppy, citrusy flourish. Nice. (#2975, 6/12/2007)

Smooth and subtle in taste. Slight citrus flavor lingers for a short time. Great beer for a bbq in the summertime.

I really enjoyed this beer, perfect for the summer time, very refreshing. crisp in taste
