Brooklyn Summer Ale

From Brooklyn Brewery – Brooklyn Summer Ale is a modern rendition of the “Light Dinner Ales” brewed in England throughout the 1800’s right up until the 1940’s.

Brooklyn Brewery – Brooklyn Summer Ale – 12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass. 5.0% abv.

Appearance: Pours a clear amber gold with champagne like rising bubbles and a dense creamy white head sitting atop.

Aroma: Slight yet noticeable grain, bready yeast, grassy hops.

Taste: Grassy hops, grainy malt that finishes with a slight sour twang.

Mouthfeel: Creamy, full bodied with above average levels carbonation.

Overall: I enjoy these types of beer on the cold side. The beer is solid, well executed and clean, but didn’t excite me.
