Commercial Description:
St. George Summer Ale is our new non-traditional summer seasonal offering. An aggressive late hop character coupled with a medium bodied ale has resulted in a highly-drinkable, thirst-quenching beer. A slight maltiness and perfectly balanced hop bitterness along with it's classic English hop finish makes this the perfect drink for beating the summer heat. This ale is a very pale golden color with a thick creamy white head.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with The_Beer_God (thanks!). Poured a medium and clear amber color with an averaged sized, slightly off white head. Subtle aromas of citrus, fruity (peaches), light grass, and light caramel. Tastes of citrus, light caramel, and lightly herbal. Thinner body.

Bottle courtesy of dkachur. Pours gold with a white head. Smells of dough, caramel, yogurt. Tastes of dry malt, some astringent bitterness and a dry finish.

Draft at Greenleafe Tavern. Medium gold pour with aroma of pale malt, slight hopcitrus, and slight honey. The flavor was malty, with subdued lemony hopcitrus, and I noted a mild buttery flavor. Decent.

Bottle: Poured an orange-tinged golden color with a towering head of white rocky foam. I had to sniff very hard to get any aroma at all, but got a light hint of nutmeg and honey. The first quaff is earthy and gristy with a pale malt character. There’s almost a chewiness here with just a light grassy hop finish.

Draft at the 4th Annual Virginia Beer Festival in Norfolk, VA. Golden body. Small white head. Aroma is grassy and citrusy. Light graininess in the nose. Taste is tangy citrus, biscuity malts, light grassiness. Overall pleasant hoppiness to it. Body is medium with moderate carbonation and a nice crispness to it. Light lingering bitterness as well. Finish is more grassy notes, light hop profile, lemon, grains and more biscuity notes. Nice stuff and very drinkable!
