Summer Ale is tangy and crisp, brewed with wheat malt, lemon zest, Hallertau Tradition and Saaz hops, the
Boston brewery's own ale yeast, and an historic, nearly forgotten brewing spice called Grains of Paradise. Grains
of Paradise gives Summer Ale a peppery citrus note, which enhances the tanginess of the lemon peel. This nearly
forgotten brewing ingredient -- used by brewers in the 13th and 14th centuries -- brings a subtle, elegant aroma to
the wheat ale base. The ale yeast fermentation produces background notes of tropical fruit: you'll detect hints of
mangos and peaches. This is a well-balanced, quenching beer -- perfect for summertime. Summer Ale is delicious
with all summer foods: salads, sandwiches, grilled vegetables, and spicy foods. Serve it a little cooler -- about 45 degrees.
