Carolina Summer Ale (-2017) Carolina Brewing Company Holly Springs, North Carolina
Beer style: Blonde Ale / Golden Ale Ref: ratebeer.com May2024
Common descriptors are We changed it up this year. We made a Kolsch/Extra Pale Ale Hybrid. We took the best of two great beer styles, an Extra Pale Ale and a Kolsch, to create this one of a kind beer. It combines Pale and Crystal barley malt with malted wheat to give it a crisp flavor. It doesn’t finish quite as sharp as a pale ale; due to the wheat it’s a little fuller and rounder. It has a golden color, and is finished with Washington state Nugget and Cascade hops. We ferment it for 4 weeks using a subtle American ale yeast. It has an alcohol level of 4.8% ABV. |
