COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
S:t Eriks Sommar Ale är det första ekologiska ölet i S:t Eriks framgångsrika serie av mikrobryggda öl. Årets sommaröl är bryggt på Slottskällan i Uppsala av 100 procent ekoklassificerade råvaror, inklusive humle av sorten First Gold. Det är en dvärghumle med en fin, attraktiv, engelsk East Kent Golding karaktär som ger en apelsinaktig doft och arom. S:t Eriks Sommar Ale har en lite lättare i kropp och karaktär i jämförelse med Jessica Heidrich tidigare öl, men hennes förkärlek till humle går ändå inte att ta miste på. Det gör S:t Eriks Sommar Ale till en perfekt måltidsdryck en somrig lunch eller picknick med exempelvis inkokt lax, grillade kycklingklubbor, wraps eller spenatpaj med fetaost. Ölet är vackert bärnstensfärgat med en humlearomatisk, nyanserad doft med inslag av apelsin. Smaken är elegant balanserad med aromatiska toner av gräs, knäckebröd, fruktkaka och avslutande beska med inslag av Sevilla-apelsin.

AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20

Ingevara (711) - SWEDEN - JUL 19, 2011

Fresh tempting fragrance. Grassy aroma, lots of hops, grape fruit tones and some other citrus. Not too sweet. A little yeast in the flavor, but that doesn’t matter. This is a really good ale, for summer or winter.

NordicV (760) - Malmö, Sweden, SWEDEN - JUL 17, 2011

Trevlig sommaröl i en snygg flaska. Lejongul i färgen med vitt skumm. Mycket citrus i smaken. S:t Eriks gör öl som är bra för sin typ.

Enjoyit (2912) - Vadum, DENMARK - JUL 15, 2011

Pale yellow of colour with a small white head. An aroma of butter, bread and weak hops. A flavour with weak sweets, butter, grass and hops. A pretty dry finish.

blafa (510) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JUL 10, 2011

Pale yellow coloured with a small white head. Aromas of citrusy hops, nectarines and vegetables, carrots - something that I find unappealing. Light body with a hoppy taste. A pretty futile beer that I wouldn’t have remembered unless I took notes.

SirLimpsalot (1611) - SWEDEN - JUL 9, 2011

Gräsig humledoft, mycket citrus och beska i smaken. Så pass mycket att jag undrar på vad dom försöker dölja.

Marvid (45) - SWEDEN - JUL 3, 2011

Stylish bottle, golden yellow with a quickly diminishing thick head with citrus aromas. The taste was very watered with a relatively balanced but weak body with hints of citrus and hops.

MOLA_DK (168) - DENMARK - JUL 2, 2011

Pours orange and and crystal clear, small white head. Aroma is malt and some DMS. Taste is malty, with a little bitterness in the finish. Very softly carbonated. Not unpleasant but rather boring.

Bottle. Golden with a white head leaving some lacing. Aroma. a hint of citrus, but mostly grass, perhaps some chick peas. Taste: rather bitter, grassy, metallic, biscuity malt, some fruit, perhaps nuts. Light-bodied, lively carbonation. Pretty bland.

tkrjukoff (3360) - SWEDEN - JUN 10, 2011

Pours clear amber with big bubbly beige head leaving nice lace. Aroma is weak malty, hoppy, hay and caramel. Fruity, malty, hoppy bitter, slightly acidy, perry and a bit sweet flavor. medium palate. Finishes with nice sweet bitter aftertaste. Good summer session beer.
