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.

Bottle... Clear, hay-colored ale with a small, frothy, white head. Small, creamy, white head. Good retention and tall, thunderhead lacework. The flavor is well-balanced and mirrors the light aroma... strawy, citrusy and yeasty. Light-bodied and thin with fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, lightly bitter finish.

I like most of Blue Point’s beers so I thought I’d pick up a growler of this... big mistake. Pale golden, thin white head. Lightly wheaty and malty with a hint of toast. In the mouth though, that toast turns to an acrid charred bitterness. Very strange brew, and not in a good way. Highly forgettable.

Gold pour with gorgeous medium white head. This one is definitely "4-worthy" for appearance. Aroma of hopcit (lemon), pale malt. Tastes grainy/malty with some hopcit in the finish. Light, crisp, kolschy palate.

Tap at brewery. Clear golden color. Citrusy and light in both aroma and flavor. Pretty refreshing. Would make a nice lawn mower beer.

Bottle (12oz). Clear bright pale gold with an average frothy bright white head. Slightly sour vegetal sweet aroma, hint of lemon and dry stale hops. Tastes a little harsh, watery yet harsh - dry lemon grass, that’s about it, slightly unpleasant aftertaste. Watery, flat, a little metallic - ehh.
