Sampled Summer 2003 - Clear pale gold with white head. Lemon, wheat flavours and aroma. Fairly sweet. Thick mouthfeel and high carbonation.

I thought this was a decent beer. Nice and easy to drink. It was a nice golden yellow with white head. Some fruity aromas were there. Fruitiness and wheat apparent in the taste.

My last sample was a year old, but I’ve "tasted" it fresh. I did not exactly taste it, as there was nothing much to taste. At least the out of date sample suffered from that strange malt-expansion you find in old beer, which gave it a measure of flavor, even if it was a bit unpleasant.

On tap. Very faint aroma. Slight hints of lemon as well as some slight grassy notes. Transparent golden color with a white head. Dry, touches of lemon with some slight banana notes. Noticeable wheat flavors. A very forgettable summer wheat.

almost no head, with a slightly hoppy taste whuich was hidden by its fruitish flavor. A light golden yellow and a nice finish.

Light golden in color with a medium white head. Fruity hop aroma. Flavor is bitter,fruity,spicy hops with a grainy malt character.

OMG I have been tricked! They switched their label! "Otter Creek ’Otter Summary Ale.’" 12 oz. bottle from Williston Beverage Warehouse, Burlington, VT. I bought the single thinking was new. May as well re-rate... Slightly murky barely-yellow with virtually no head. Aroma slightly of banana, yeast, and hay. Flavor is lousy; a little sweetness and wheat or hay. Medium body. Better than I recall from before, but it’s another beer you have to let warm up to get anything at all out of it. 2005-05-22 5/2/5/3/10/2.5: Light golden with virtually no head; based on appearance, this might as well be a Bud. Aroma is barely of citrus, mostly of harsh hops and stanky cardboard. Flavor is about the same: Slightly citrusy, quite harsh from the hops, and a bit cardboardy in the finish. Mouthfeel is slightly thicker than expected, and it is a little sticky. This is crap. Avoid it.

I don't know what happend with this brew but i could confuse it with a macro lager in a side by side. Clear yellow in color with a small white head, almost no aroma and only the slightest hint of citris in it's watery nothingness.
