    Don't remember anything floating, although I tend to drink it from the can (it's one of those beers that feels extra refreshing directly from the can)

    I just picked up Anderson Valley Summer Solstice (Cream Ale). Such a great beer, and classic traditional Cream Ales are hard to find. All seem to be coffee infused these days (some good, but I also like the true-to-style as well). Recommend people revisit this one, or if you are a noob BA, don't pass on it just because its not in a 16oz can, not hazy and 2x the price.

    My drinking preferences will not be swayed by seasonal whimsy.

    Just tried this for the first time while mowing the lawn today. Was slightly tart. Not sure if that was intentional considering it’s a blonde ale but it was refreshing and delicious and wish I had bought more than one.

    Otra Vez and the Gose style in general is the only style that I drink seasonally. It just seems to be the perfect hot, sunny day beverage. Drank a few of Westbrook Brewing's Goses last time I was in Myrtle Beach, SC. Great stuff.

    Wish we could get that stuff in PA.

    I love me some Gose, Berliner Weiße, Saison and Helles during the summer months. I've also got a feeling that I will be drinking my fair share of Triple Hop'd Lager this summer.

    This has been on the list to try for a while, just haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    Sounds like a beer we would love. We have only had the darker Anderson Valley beers (forget the name). W’ll be on the lookout for this one, for sure
