Commercial Description:
Pasteurised bottle.
Light, smooth, and refreshing, Summer Ale is pale gold in colour, and at 3.9% alcohol by volume, an excellent quaffing ale. It delivers a flavour most lagers can only dream of, thanks to its all-malt brew (containing malted wheat), and 100% Saaz hops, a Czech variety found in the best pilseners. Like Organic Honey Dew, it should always be served chilled.

Looked good on poring with a nice inviting golden colour. Failed to live up to expectations with no real taste-summer or otherwise.

Bottle, from Sainsbury’s. Gold, good but shortlived white head and low condition. Good chalky, piney hoppiness in the nose, thin but refreshing in the mouth with the chalkiness and the hops again dominating some low sweet malt. Finish is hoppy and slightly dry.

Bottle. Old gold coloured. Moderate white head, that disipated quite quickly. Aroma is hops with some fruit. Taste is hoppy wth some fruit and a yeasty aftertaste. Thin on the palate. Not bad, but not one of Fuller’s best. It did get better on warming up.

This brew has what reminds me of apple pie in the aroma. Though, it is a rather uninteresting brew. Watery and mild flavour and finish.

Bottle Waitrose, Hall Green, Birmingham. Very pale lemon colour, with a loose, fading white head. Quite a malty aroma, with pineapple and citric quality. Very malty flavour - a real fruitbread aftertaste which lingers like wet cardboard: flat and persistent. Some citric fruit in the mouth initially, but this disappears quickly. Fairly refreshing in the mouth, but the finishlowers my opinion of this slightly and it ends up being slightly plain. Albeit as refreshing as intended.

A pretty beer if lacking in other areas. Perhaps Blonde Ales just aren't my thing. Thin beers do better for me with a slightly bitter bite and this one is sweet caramel. A good choice if you don't want any mouthfeel in your beer.

on tap in the uk and brought back some bottes: this is a nice summer beer, refreshing and light. however, at the fullers pub in london they serve it chilled or room temp (which at the time was not cellar temp). i suggest the chilled version. warm malt flavor with the classic blend of wheat to give it the sweet honey like finish, lightly hopped... easy drinking here!

Hazy yello-gold color with wispy head and spotted lace...Aroma is light but with unmistakable Saaz presence...The flavor is suitably light, again showcasing the lightly spicy Saaz calling card, with trace contributions from the malt profile...Body is medium-light, better than many in this class of brew...This is by no means one of my favored styles, but Fuller puts its characteristic stamp on this effort, and produces an above-average product for this style...
