Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - May to August.
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.

Cask conditioned. Golden coloured with a moderate white head. Slight caramel aroma followed by sweet malt flavours and a hint of a hoppy finish. An easy enough session beer for hot weather but rather lacking in character.

Cask. Sweet, creamy mouthfeel, with a slight hop bitter finish. Not too much going on it has to be said, but its refreshing enough.

Cask at Fullers pubs in London Excellent summer ale that for the first couple of pints is really refreshing. Pale gold with some nice citrus tangy hops. However after a bit it lacks body and structure. Re-rate. Lower score cos I hadn’t had it for a bit. After a cut grass/hay nose it really doesn’t have anything else

Draught. Bright amber in colour. Citrus, slightly sweet aroma. Some caramel tasted, rather too sweet for my taste. Decent bitterness, not bad.

On tap at the 2004 Great British Beer Festival. Poured a clear gold with white qd head. Fresh yeast aroma. The flavour is yeast & malt with hoppy bitterness. Slightly thin mouthfeel with dry finish . Improves after a swallow or two and it is refreshing as claimed.

From Old Joint Stock, Birmingham. I know it’s getting warmer in England, but is this beer supposed to be served like a cheap lager - i.e. freezing cold and headless? Left it to warm through, there were hints of beer about it (sort of damp lemons) but any sense of aroma and flavour were killed off by the temperature.

[Cask conditioned] This is pretty sweet and caramelly. I don't understand why they call thus refreshing. The finish is thin and slightly wheaty.
