As we head into the dog days of summer, dip into this refreshing roundup and American and British beers.
Stoudt’s Brewing Company American Pale Ale (Adamstown, Penn.): A light amber color highlights this very American beer made in the heartland of Pennsylvania. Hopped with two separate varietals, a refreshing bitterness coats the palete ending with a dry finish. |
| Fuller’s Extra Special Bitter (ESB) Ale (Cheswick, England): This extremely well-balanced beer combines subtle notes of caramel and freshly baked bread. The taste is sweet with a slight hint of spicy hops. This is the quintessential representation of the style our hometown brewers are now emulating. |
| Mayflower Brewing Company Summer Rye Ale (Plymouth, MA): Showcasing a sessionable 3.8% alcohol by volume, this summer treat offers a succulent range of spices with subtle notes of banana and orange peel reminiscent of a traditional wheat beer. |
| Wells Banana Bread Beer (Bedford, England): A one-of-a-kind example of English creativity. Banana aromas abound in the nose and are followed by a taste profile featuring subtle flavors of fresh banana and peppery hops. (P.S. Please take this beer seriously.) |
| 50 Back American Pale Lager (Pepperell, MA): If you truly want to feel patriotic this summer, pick up a six-pack of this light and refreshing lager. The label notes that 50 percent of the proceeds are donated to “charities committed to directly supporting and enriching the lives of our nation’s veterans and their families.” Nice work! |
