Commercial Description:
Blue Point Brewing's Summer Ale has a delicious golden taste. In addition to traditional barley malt; a substantial portion of wheat malt is added to the mix giving this brew a unique tartness that's not found in many beers today. A small amount of lemon is added with one other "special" ingredient that all combine together to produce a light, thirst-quenching, citrus flavor microbrew enjoyed by all on a hot, Long Island Summer day.

How does something taste "golden"? Questions aside, this 12 oz. bottle pours a thin, golden color with a thin, filmy head. Aroma of sweet wheat and something mildly fruity-sweet...honeysuckle-ish or apricot-ty? Simple in taste with lemony front palate, bread-like middle and faint hops finish. A drinkable and pleasant-enough beer that would be an easy introduction (albeit not exactly ’good’) to craft brews. Thin body and not much to write home about. I happened to be drinking this while eating orzo pasta salad, and it was totally overpowered by the salad’s flavor. A few steps above a Corona on a hot summer day.

Golden clear body with a billowy white head, soft aroma, but not much snap in the flavor, inadequate tartness for me, but a clean finish.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a nice gold color with a sizeable pillowy white head. Light floral and perfume notes with touches of grass and grain in the nose. Medium-high carbonation with a light mouthfeel. A little lemon note greets me with my first sip. It has some dry character, a light wheat note, and a little grainy sweetness. You could session this one all day, but it is a little light in the flavor department. A great lawnmower beer.

A pretty boring nondescript beer. Very bland taste from the bottle. Not worth the price. Much better Summer Ales are available.

Good solid summer beer. Light aroma of bread and grass. Very clear amber with a decent head. Nice flavor of malt with some hops at the end. Crisp and clean finish.

From a bottle poured a clear golden color with a fair amount of head. Grainy watery flavor with a ting of metalic taste.

12 oz bottle. Pours a light translucent golden color with a white head. Aroma is malts, caramel, light sweetness. Flavor is a touch of lemon, malts - not much in terms of hops.
