Thanks for the comment Madzi. I’m not sue where I found the ABV that said 5.1…possible it was from another site. I changed it though to reflect the correct ABV. Thanks for the heads up. In answer to your question, I will absolutely certainly give this beer another shot. Cheers!

Maybe they’ve changed things for this year, since the website says the brew is only 4.8 ABV now, but you’ve quoted 5.1 above… I guess “tangy” and “sour” could be good or bad, depending on the degree and one’s expectations… maybe this season’s is more subtle – because I only found it about as sour and tangy as apple juice (of course it didn’t have any sweetness of aj)… it seemed somewhat effervesent as well, which helped make it refreshing. Maybe worth another try for you?

I hate to be negative about any beer I review but this one just did not do it for me. There was something in the flavor that I can’t quite put my finger one. “Tangy” and “Sour” are they only two adjectives that came to mind lol.

Sounds like I’ll be passing on this summer ale. Thanks for the warning!

Looking back, its been about 2 years since I’ve tried this beer and like you I didn’t find it to be all that impressive especially considering all the other tasty summer ales available. I think I gave it one star out of 5!
