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.

A very interesting beer. For an ale, it was more like a pilsener in flavor and body. Very light, but not watery. Nicely hopped with a pleasant finish. Fullers hit the nail on the head with this summer ale.

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!

One of the best summer ales I can think of. Clear golden straw color, with a thick ivory head. Mild effervescence with a light body makes for a good mouthfeel. Pale maltiness with a hint of wheat and fruit. Dry hops taking up the rear and providing a clean, dry finish. Tastes like a light english pale ale, which is quite fine in my book.

Malty wheat aroma, hints of bread and butter. Nice rocky white head, with some nice lacing. Pale yellow golden pleasant appearance. Nice sweet and bitter balance with good carbonation. Very refreshing with a slight bitter finish. A very nice summer ale, nicely balanced, from one of the best.

Medium gold color, medium head. A lighter bodied ‘golden?’ ale. Mild malts and hops. Very mild flavor, mild subtle hop character. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. A nice refreshing beer for summertime sipping. sip on a warm summer's evening.
