Poured from a bottle into a shaker pint, the beer is a caramel coloring with a ton of the body, and a fluffy, foamy, dense, off-white head. Aromas of light honey, lemon grass, basil, ginger, subtle citrus highlights, subtle caramel, and a bready backbone. Flavors are light and herbal forward, with a solid dose of tangy caramel in the backbone. Lemon and grapefruit provide citrus sweetness, with spiced overtones of lemongrass, all spice, grains of paradise, and clove. Light bodied and smooth, with a fruity sweet and herbal aftertaste. The finish is light, slightly effervesced, with a subtle herb linger. Decent beer.

Much better than its rating. Dry taste and a nice hint of bitterness. Smooth yet decent body. Very nice.

Pours a dark dirty gold color with good head. Slight caramel flavor and well balanced. Finishes with just a wee bit of bitter, leaving me wanting a touch more. What makes this s ummer ale?. I don't know. It tastes good in the summer?. Good brew, light and balanced, just don't look to much at the color, a little weird
