hopIQ found 10 beers with the same hoppy and light character as Original Schlüssel Summer Ale. A light pale ale poured on draught in summer, first served in the brewery's tent at the Rheinkirmes and since then also in the tap house. It is pale in the glass and hop-forward, with balanced citrus and fruit notes from Simcoe hops, which bring grapefruit and a resinous hint of pine; a restrained dry hopping lifts the aroma further. Light in body and fresh rather than bitter, it stands as the summer counterpart to the house Altbier. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
