Beer and
summer are meant for each other. Over
the next several weeks, I’ll take a look at a few summer beers that I think
epitomize the relationship.
First up:
Narragansett Summer Ale
First
things first, who doesn’t enjoy a 16 ounce can? One full pint of beer. And the
price for a six-pack is by far the best deal you’ll get on 96 ounces of
crisp, refreshing beer this summer. I’m not sure why I looked passed this beer last year,
but I did, so I’ve taken it upon myself to rectify this by drinking this beer
weekly during the warmer months.
Brewed
with 2-row pale malt and citra hops, the fizzy pour produces a lovely white cap
of foam atop a golden-brilliance of effervescent liquid. Some lacing forms
around the sides of the glass as the head falls into a wisp. Aroma is slightly citrusy,
with hints of tropical fruit and mild grain. The flavor follows suit with plenty of hop character without being too
overwhelming and licks of grain through the dryish finish.
A
wonderful light summer beer at 4.2% ABV, this Blonde Ale will not be out of
stock in my house until at least the middle of September…if they last that
long.
