Pelican Surfers Summer Ale

On tap at the brewpub. Pours clear dark gold with a frothy white head. Floral and resinous nose. Sweet fruit taste with a dry herbal finish.

Perfectly non-offensive and forgettable. Deep straw hued body with a slight whisp of a white head. Sweet bready malt body with some light hints of yeast and fruit. Noticeable floral hop profile characterized by a orange citrus and a grassy note. Well paired for my clear sky BBQing of my new recipe Smoked Mozzarella Burgers.

Purchased a 22-oz bomber from the brewery’s internet sales. Pours a clear golden pale straw brew with a thin white head that quickly dissipates to a thin ring. Aroma of golden grain malt with some lemon zest, and some grassy hops. Taste is light bodied, lightly carbonated with flavors of golden grain malt, lemon zest and a touch of vegetable. Finish is light, crisp with a clean cut aftertaste with minimal bitterness.

Cask @ the brewpub. Pours a pale yellow color with a small white head. Has a sweetish malty floral hoppy aroma. Sweetish malty hoppy flavor with some hints of citrus. Sweetish malty hoppy finish.

Courtesy of Skyview. Gold color with no head. Light aroma of lemon. Light grain taste, finishing with some crisp citrusy hops. Pretty easy going all around, but definitely enjoyable.

[Bottle] shared by Skyview. Pours a clear gold with a soapy whitish head. Medium floral and noble hop aroma without much malt. Very hoppy flavor, really nice and crisp and light and refreshing. A touch earthy.

Bright golden with thick head. Very clean w/ strong bitterness for a summer ale. Light sweet malt balances nicely. I could see doing a growler of this on the beach...

On tap as part of the sampler tray at the Brewery. Pretty simple, but in a summer ale you’re really only looking for refreshment. With that expectation I was satisfied. A very light sweetness and a hint of citrus. Good, clean and definitely refreshing.
