Brooklyn Summer Ale
Brooklyn Summer Ale takes its cue from the light dinner ales brewed in England from the 1800s into the 1940s. English barley malt gives the golden, light-bodied beer a fresh, bready character. German and American hops add a lightly floral, citrusy aroma with a faint grassy note and a gentle, crisp bitterness. The body stays slim, and the finish is clean and dry, which keeps the malt in the background and the hop aroma in front.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Brooklyn Summer Ale
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
