This is not the other "Summer Ale" listed here, for this had no witbier characteristics, and, in fact, it wasn't even intended to be an ale, but then, ooops! Sorry, I was supposed to keep that part a secret...promised not to tell...but "amber ale" is close enough, so amber ale it is!
Cloudy, deep amber hue, nearly yellow at glass's bottom, wigh a creamy, meringue-like, snow-white dollop of froth atop.
Aroma: possesses fruity esters, but doesn't project to far, soft & light, mild, but appreciable.
Taste is again mild, just a touch of hops, big malty taste. Solid body, though light, medium finish, leaves palate on friendly terms and begs for another taste. Very refreshing ale, easy to toss back without a trouble, but none too memorable. Does it's job, though, and does it well! Excellent match with their great pizzas, sitting on the patio in 85 degree weather.
