Brooklyn Summer Ale

The Beer Stats:
  • Beer Name: Brooklyn Summer Ale
  • Brewery: Brooklyn Brewing Company (New York)
  • Style: English Pale Ale
  • ABV:5.0%
  • IBU: 18
  • Pour Color: Nice yellow golden color that has a slight haze. 




       The pour was nice. A fluffy head crowned a nice golden beer in the glass. The scent off the top was quite malty, with a nice tone of citrus. The head quickly sank to the sides of the glass where it would reside for the rest of the beer. The initial taste of this one is yeasty and malty. A strong taste of bread to this. After that comes a nice crisp presence of lemon and grass flavors to the hops. On swallow you get a nice biscuit taste. Really a good summer experience in a world of summer wheat beers.
      Brooklyn makes great beers! This is another one that I enjoy. Not my favorite summer ale, but still one I get a hankering for when in season. Extremely malty compared to most summer ales, it gives you something different for the season. Also it comes in a can. Don't bring bottles to the beach... Go grab a twelver of this one!
