We wanted to create a beer with the same distinct crispness and color that you get in the days of early summer. Using a dry-hopping technique, hops are not only added to the brew kettle, but also included in the aging tank, giving the specialty beer its distinct and crisp hop aroma. The choice selection of pale and caramel roasted barley malt gives this beer its deep golden color that looks great in a glass.

Out of the bottle this A-B product looked surprisingly good. White head one finger head that retained well and laced in sheets atop a bright yellow liquid. The aroma was semi-sweet, lemon and sugary malt. The flavors were subdued but not unpleasant. A basic balance of malt and hops with a slightly astringent quality and no outstanding characteristics. The mouthfeel was fine, medium body and generally refreshing. Just an easy going, non thinking entity, like the blonde surfer on the label. It wasn't not good but it was too lackadaisical to actually call it bad either. This beer was simply beer and you could drink it if you like.
