La Sagra Summer Ale

Spain·Wheat Ale
Tap to rate

Summer Ale is La Sagra's summer seasonal, released every year and brewed from barley and wheat malts with lemon peel and coriander seed. The wheat gives it a cloudy look and a soft, creamy body at 4.4 percent. The nose shows lemon zest, coriander and fresh bread. On the palate the citrus stays bright, the spice adds a light peppery edge, and the finish is short, crisp and slightly tart. The label draws on the view from Toledo's Mirador del Valle.

The palate develops a light peppery edge from the coriander as citrus brightness persists through the mid-palate. Bitterness is restrained at 14 IBU, allowing the citrus and spice to remain the focal points.
