Summit Scandia Ale
12 oz bottle
Moderate pour in a goblet
Recent brewing, absorbed 07/07
Poured a cloudy gold with an average white fizzy somewhat diminishing head.
Smelt of strong perfume, flowers, light, anise, coriander, lightly toasted white bread, with a light to moderate orange touch.
Taste was upfront moderate bitter grassy hops and oranges with a spice kick and some light sweet white bread malt followed by a strong bitter flowery yeast and hops kick on an average finish.
Palate was light bodied, lively carbonated, watery on a dry finish, slightly astringent.
Overall, this feel like a Blue Moon clone, but a little bolder and complex. It’s like drinking a bouquet of flowers.

Aug 18, 2008 Distinct coriander aroma and flavor. Otherwise a nice spicy, drinkable wheat beer.

Aug 14, 2008 Draft at Dixie’s on Grand. Pours a hazy, yellow-orange body with a dense, white foam head. Aroma of malts, yeast, citrus, and coriander with a hint of banana. Flavor is more of the same. Light to medium bodied with a lively fizzy mouthfeel. Finishes a tad watery with banana and coriander notes. An enjoyable beer for a hot summer day.

Aug 12, 2008 Draft at Beer Sellar, KY. Poured hazy orange with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Moderate yeasty orange citrus aroma. Light to medium body with a light sticky texture. Medium citrus sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met.

Jul 31, 2008 Pours a cloudy pale yellow, with a tiny white head. Aroma of corriander and somthing nasty I can’t quite put my finger on. Flavor is mainly wheat with a bit of corriander spice. Palate is fizzy on the tongue and dry. Overall an odd beer, and a bit of a disappointment. Not terrible but not particularly good either.
