Review - Sea Dog Brewing Company's Summer Ale
No commercial description
From what I can tell, Sea Dog does no marketing of this beer on their Web site, which isn't suprising as they didn't appear to put very much effort into making this a great summer ale. It pours a light amber color with a fizzy white head. Fair lacing trails behind a mostly-diminishing head, above a clear body. Aroma is of light lemon-scented hops and light soapy yeast. Initial taste is watery with a light bitter finish. Very watery on the mouthfeel, it has flat carbonation that does nothing to quench our thirst.
Reviewer's notes: I'm not out to kill any beer, certainly not from the people that bring us the Wild Blueberry Wheat Ale. I think that is what makes this ale so disappointing. They produce such a high quality ale in the blueberry, and then release this summer ale which does not even come close to being in the same league. Unfortunate.
