Commercial Description:
The Carrabassett Summer ale joined our stable of beers in April, 2003. This Kolsh beer will delight and refresh you. We use a high proportion of wheat malt to give it a thick head and light body. The Carrabassett Summer Ale makes a great addition to all things summer: BBQs, tunes from a speaker in the window, frisbees and the sound of crickets. Not a bad way to spend an evening

Not a bad summer ale. Very light, with some lemon to make it more refreshing. Its a lawnmower beer, but well made. Dry and not sweet at all. Slightly bitter, with lots of mineral salts.

A nice summer ale. Solid golden brown color with a thick white head. Very nice flavor and a hint of spices that make is a very smooth taste and even nicer aftertaste.

I figured I should try this before summer’s finally over. Golden/amber body with half inch offwhite head. Smells rather malty with some hop presence. Medium bodied. Sweet, hints of hop. Very drinkable beer and a decent example of the style in my opinion. I really liked it.

Cloudy golden color, smallish head with tight bubbles and nice effervescence. Grassy hop aroma. Hop bite in start, well carbonated, flavors of bread then citrus peel in finish. Crisp and dry. Good summer ale.

Like Carrabassett’s other beers this is a pretty average beer of it’s style. Light bodied, well balanced, and great on a hot day.

Pours bright and brassy from the bottle. Nice creamy white head. A hazy body with heavy lace that last all beer long. Smell is very light but creamy. Taaste is lightly malty. Very creamy with a light hoppy aftertaste. I don’t know if this is supposed to be a cream ale but it sure as hell tastes like one. Medium bodied and uncomplicated. Not a great beer but it harkens back to the days I was weaning myself off of Coors Light with Genessee Cream Ale and Genessee 12 Horse at the Nyabinghi Dance Hall back in Morgantown, WV during my brief and academically unproductive college career.

Comes in a 12 oz long neck..simple label..yellow with one of those Olde Fashioned compass point doohickeys. OK first off I think I got a bad botle of this beer..as I poured it very carefully it produced a monsterous head..in fact 80% of the pint mug was filled with head..the beer I can actually see is pleasant enough hazy gold. The aroma is still pretty good very wheaty..pleasant sourness, The taste however is overwhelmed by the CO2..some wheat I can make out. Mouthfeel is pure carbonation. Not drinkable ..I think this must be a bad bottle
