COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The perfect beer for the perfect time of the year! Summer Wheat Ale is our take on the traditional German "weisse" beers so popular in Europe. We use a two-to-one ratio of Pale to Wheat malts to craft an ale that's light on the palate, golden-hued and has a mild and satisfying maltiness. No strange fruits or spices! Just a crisp, refreshing brew.

Draft on vacation to Maine.Nice Golden color, seemed likesome hop finish with modest carbonation, almost like a Koelsch with light fruit flavors naturally derived.

JoeMcPhee (6967) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 27, 2007
Pale golden beer, whitish head. Aroma is quite light and lean as would be expected. A touch of citrus and light cotton candy over extra light malt. Light earthiness and a bit of bright citrus on the back. It’s simple and refreshing and quite a good summer ale.

porterhouse (1544) - Alna, Maine, USA - AUG 8, 2006
(Draft@Freeport) Clear (not cloudy) yellow-gold with small white head. Aroma very faintly bready, yeasty. Mouthfeel light, kind of thin, a little prickly and dry. Nice lacing. Flavor very yeasty and bready, a bit sweet. A bit of bitterness on back end. I liked the freshness. Not bad but not something I’d really yearn to go back to.

daalamar (405) - new albany, Indiana, USA - NOV 18, 2003
Not that great. Light lager like coloration with a white head and again lager like aroma. Flavor wasn't worth mentioning and nothing that I would try again.
