3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle best before 7 05. Poured a medium and cloudy amber color with a small sized white head. Aromas and tastes of citrus (lemons and oranges), light grass and some wheat. Lighter aromas than the tastes. Medium sweet with a light hop finish.

Any first impressions?
-A bold ring crowns the clear yellow gold.
-Sweet peach/mango esters top the hay-like cereal.
-Grainy dryness is well-balanced to the wooden hop flavor.
-The frothy carbonation never gets excessive and serves drinkability quite well.
What if you dig deeper?
-Peeking citrusy hops and urine-like saltiness is found in the nose.
-The curtain call consists of a sumptuous wooden, mineral hop bitterness.
-A little more pils malt apport in the flavor profile and I would’ve been in estival heaven.
-Perfect for a bright summer day, peacefully glancing at a Maine fishing harbor, this clean, accessible, flavorful golden ale was a pleasant surprise.
Bottle; best before Oct ’06.

Pours copper with an off white head. Smells of yogurt, brown sugar and caramel. Tastes of mild citrus notes with a bitter finish. On the watery side.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very nice summer session ale. Hoppy but not overly so, and is backed up by some malt. Very drinkable and would go nice while bbq-ing. Light- yet has a good flavor to it.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Found this one at Jungle Jim’s in Fairfield, OH. My experiences with ’Summer Ales’ have been a little sketchy but this one wasn’t bad at all. Flat copper color with a medium white head. Some lacing. Aroma is all hops. Mildly bitter hops flavor with a little malt to keep it in check. I honestly think they should offer this one year ’round.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Light orange or warm golden color. Fresh orange fruity hops, nice. Balanced. Great crisp hop flavors. Smooth.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Hazy golden hue with a very white, foamy but fast-dying head. Pleasant but weak grainy nose. Flavor seems nothing special at first; some caramel malt, a bit of fruit, some hops, and its got more bite at the end than I expected; but this is really quite refreshing and one of the better ’summer’ session beers out there. Good body.
