Dog Days (Summer Ale) PDF Print E-mail

This Summer Ale is a refreshing thirst quencher for all those beach bums (or aspiring beach bums) out there. Its relatively generous portions of wheat and honey contribute pleasantly light flavors and aromas, while the willamette hops contribute earthy aromas and flavors that help to balance the biscuity/toasty aromas and flavors from the malt. The yeast imparts very low levels of character to maintain clean fermentation characteristics. Okole maluna!
