Le Merle from North Coast Brewing
Saison is the French word for season, and the summer season is definitely here.
Like this summer, Le Merle is a saison that comes on in full force. This beer pours a cloudy orange with
a healthy head. Aromas of cloves, pears and spicy yeast come emanating out of Le Merle. The taste brings these complex
spices to life and has hints of white grapes and apples. This beer is very bright and has a lot of vibrancy ,
just like the sunny days of summer. This beer is great for lovers of wheat beers as well as anyone looking for
a good summer draft. Bottoms Up!

Dave's beer of the week 6/20/12

Anderson Valley Summer Solstice Cerveza Crema

Summer is in full swing, and so is the heat. This allows the young ones to have popsicles and ice-cream as an ice cold snack, but what about us adults? For the adults is something better; Anderson Valley Summer Solstice. It pours a clear copper color with a thin tan head. The mouth feel of the Summer Solstice is light, refreshing and creamy. This beer tastes like an orange creamsicle, especially when extra cold. I like putting the Summer Solstice in the freezer for about ten minutes before drinking, making it extra cold and refreshing on a hot day. Warning! Just remember to take it outof the freezer! This beer is perfect for those looking for a refreshing treat to help beat the heat. Bottoms up!

Dave's beer of the week 6/13/12

June 13th, 2012 10:28am - Posted By: Dave Knaisch

Elysian Prometheus Stolen Fire IPA
SEASONAL BEER IBU: 60  ABV: 6.7%

As temperatures rise in the summer, some IPAs and double IPAs can be too
resinous. They begin to gain a thick mouth feel, which can sometimes be too much to enjoy in the +80 degree weather. Well friends, if a hoppy summer drink is on your mind, come try Seattle’s Elysian Prometheus. The Prometheus pours a hazy amber color with a decent off white head. Soft grassy hop aromas are backed by somewhat caramelized pineapple. Taste is like an orange peel; citrus with a nice bitter bite. This beer is especially good for someone who wants a slightly bitter IPA that is still crisply refreshing on a hot day. This beer is best enjoyed cold. Bottoms up!

Cody's beer of the week 6/6/12

June 6th, 2012 8:07am - Posted By: Cody Flanagan

Odell Brewing Company St. Lupulin 6.5% A.B.V.

Extra pale ale, or extra delicious? How about both! This summer seasonal from the brilliant minds of Odell Brewing Company is exactly what you need after a long day at the office. This one pours a vibrant golden hue with an elegant halo of pearly white bubbles and excellent head retention. The nose is a lovely combination of floral, herbaceous, and citrus hops with just a hint of caramel. And even though the initial taste seems like it would be a palate wrecking hop-bomb, vibrant carbonation and a crisp finish, stop it from being just that. St. Lupulin is what I'm drinking this summer. What about you!? Cheers!
