from the label, but translated by Google--
Pale yellow color, Slightly cloudy
Nose: Intense aromas of exotic fruits, mango, and citrus
Palate: Light in structure but very aromatic, with a velvety finish thanks to the oats, followed by a beautiful aroma

Not included in my translated Description below is the malts (Pilsen, Munich and Wheat) and the hops (Citra and Mosaic) and the yeast is used in West Coast Ales. And this is close to the West Coast APAs of the previous Century (and they should have stayed closer to that than APAs today trying to compete with IPA styles... but that is another story I don't want to broach now.)
I'm going to let the next drinker give a thorough review of Summer Hit. In addition to saying that the big brown bear with the sunglasses on the label is cute, I'll say this briefly: Summer Hit was enjoyable, refreshing and fun on a hot day in London... and not too hoppy like its North American contemporaries. (I purchased Summer Hit from Nicolas, a French wine and beverage specialist with 7 stores in London.)
Instead I want to offer a micro-review of Assau, who is nestled between Toulouse and the Pyrenees; not exactly known as beer country. I'm impressed that this young a brewer in a wine culture can make this pleasant ale when, by contrast, so many North American micros mostly just pile in the hops and expect people to buy it. (And drinkers used to, but are becoming more discerning.) Anyhow, Aussau is discerning and it shows here. For all the above, I give them very good Overall Hugs.
