Strangely herbaceous floral-spiced citric nature and raw oat dryness give bright saffron-hazed wheat ale similar resilience as earthen Belgian Farmhouse Ales. So does mildewed fungi retrenchment, tertiary lemongrass-peppercorn influence, mild grapefruit bittering, and wispy banana-clove snip. Biscuit-y bottom anchors finishing lemon, lime, and orange candy tartness.

HOP BACK SUMMER LIGHTNING ALE
Decent straw-hazed white-headed bottle-conditioned golden ale maintains grassy hay waft, sunny citric disposition, anf flourishing floral bouquet. Snappy hop-embittered lemon-grapefruit tartness and mellow tobacco illusions secure light dewy finish, but fuzzy phenol persistence pilfers apple-orange snip.
ALLAGASH SUMMER ALE
Friendly moderate-bodied Belgian-styled white ale overlays up-front coriander-clove spicing and floral hop tease with steadfast orange rind bitterness. Husked wheat, dry hay, and fresh grass provide earthy touch to oncoming candied malt gloss and apricot-quince ascension, though phenol aspect disrupts herbal tea hint.

ANCHOR SUMMER WHEAT ALE
MENDOCINO SUMMER ALE
Better and more resilient than most common summer brews, this unfiltered limited edition 2005 white ale brings orange peel bittering and tangy lemony fizz to wafting vegetal acridity. Peppery coriander-mint-thyme spicing adds comely seasonal depth. Though light-bodied, its busy wheat-based mix carries through to tannic yellow grape dryness illuminating sweltering banana-teased finish, retaining brimful sunlit buoyancy.
