Underrated Summer Beers

Saint Arnold's Summer Pils and Fancy Lawnmower.
Real Ale Gose, which is limited, but really great.
Deep Ellum Dallas Blonde and Easy Peasy IPA.
Grapevine Brewing Lakefire Rye.
All very easy drinking and refreshing when served cold.

 

I thought this beer was close in taste and quality to Day time

 

SCULPIN any time its hot

 

I did not taste the lemon on the SA summer ale. I liked the Brooklyn Summer Ale much better.

 

Troegs Sunshine Pils and Lancaster Kolsch are the ticket this summer. Last summer I had a hankerin' for Victory Summer Love...

 

Lemon-yellow Sunshine with Bitter Hoppy Fruityness. It's what a glass of Summertime should taste like.

Karl Strauss Mosaic Session Ale

 

Dinkel Acker German Pilsner

 

Dfh namaste, nice and light could drink it all day. I know it's year round but it's perfect for summer.

 

Deep Ellum IPA at the ball game.
Hops & Grain's The One They Call Zoe.
Real Ale Gose.

 

Leinenkugel Grapefruit Shandy and Firestone Easy Jack immediately come to mind. Both have been solid go-to's on a real hot summer day.

 

Real Ale Gose

 

Stiegl Grapefruit Radler, surprisingly refreshing

 

I'm a big fan of Lilikoi by Avery. perfect for super hot weather.

 

CCB's Invasion Pale Ale

 

I'll throw Harpoon's Take 5 IPA out there - it's probably a year 'round offering, but it's a very nice beer on a hot day.

Oddly enough, after trying it, I'd put Habanero Sculpin on my short list - it can hold it's own with BBQ, but I can see it being a love/hate thing. It's probably not under-rated because its Ballast Point, but just thinking of the seasonality - I doubt I'd drink it at all in the winter.

Any well-made pilsner too - under-rated in general. Best one I've had in a long time was Machine Czhech from Bunker, but can't get it here.

 

I personally really like Victory Summer Love
And Fat Head's Jackstraw Pils is pretty tasty too

 

Coors Light, Westbrooke White Thai, and OMB Copper have been the ticket of late. Never liked Coors(and hated all the cowboy assholes that drank it where I grew up), but lately a super cold one has been hitting the spot. Plus I'm super broke so the cheaper the better these days.

 

Is 2.0 tart? The first release wasn't therefore it wasn't actually a Gose. It was the best summer release, however. I love Pilseners so the first Jammer was wonderful, just incorrectly labeled as a Gose.

 

Jammer 2.0 has just the proper amount of tartness IMO. I did not taste Jammer 1.0 but just as you posted, lots of folks stated that version was not tart enough. Shane Welch listened to his customers and implemented product improvement.

Cheers!
