3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a hazy gold with a creamy white head. Aroma has light citrus...lemony but not tart...and a spice i cant place. Flavor is lightly grassy...notable lemongrass...and just a hint of that spice (i guess its grains of paradise?). Mouthfeel is medium and the finish has a dry, wheaty quality. Refreshing.

On draft at the Lancaster location. The pour was coudy amber with a nice head. Phenolic and fruity aroma, spicing in the background. The flavor was phenolic (coriander and grains of paradise I suppose), banana esters, some citrus in the background. The body was dry and dull. Glad this wasn’t a Sammy Summer clone! Decent for the style.

On tap, Lancaster. Murky pour gold, some lacing. Sweet and grainy with a moderate clove spiciness. A fruity and refreshing zing. The Grains of Paradise with the Belgian yeast complimented each other nicely. Great summer beer. Nicely done IH.

A very nice summer-style beer. This was very refreshing with lots of fruit flavors and some other interesting tastes. The beer poured a cloudy and hazy dark golden color with a thick and lacy white head. The aroma was slightly fruity, but balanced nicely with some bready malts. I tasted some lemon, grass and those grains of paradise in the body.
