Commercial Description:
Never Summer Ale is a bold new look at winter beers: gutsy, full-bodied and an aggressive fusion of secret spices. Like the first run of the day, this ale is deep and clean, crisp and drinkable, perfectly blended for a smooth ride...through the Looking Glass. Grains: British Dark Caramel Malt, U.S. 2-row Barley. Hops: Nugget, Willamette, Cascade and Top-Secret Brewmaster's Spice.

A pretty standard winter warmer, with some spice notes (not overdone), nuttiness and hops to balance the malt agression. Nice red, rather than dark, appearance is a standout for the style. Pretty good, but taste wouldn’t stand out in a crowd.

bottle - Pours a murky brown color with a very thin head. It has a rich aroma of caramel malt with hints of dark fruit and spices. The flavor is sweet and spicy with some mild hops in the finish. It’s medium bodied and did seem a little watery even as it warmed. Still it was a tasty, enjoyable brew.

Great summer ale. Was looking to try it again but looks like I am a out of luck for a while. Another good Boulder beer.

Bottle. Pours a dark red color and a very malty and slightly spicey aroma. Taste is similar.

Malty and sweet with just enough hops for a solid dry balance. A casual beer that is very drinkable and unobtrusive.

22oz bottle on sale for $2.50 so what the hell right? nice dark amber color with a super malty smell. The taste was a nice subtle malty flavor and I quickly drank two glasses. nice stuff and reaffirms my belief in the quality of Boulder Beers. Colorado rules.

Pours a nice brown with a off white head. Aroma is caramel, faded hops, biscuit and malts. Flavor is faded hops, dark fruits, touch of hops, spices, nuts, with a bitter earthy finish.
