Craft breweries everywhere have been releasing their summer brews. Typically lighter and fresher, these seasonals are designed to go down easy.
Deschutes Twilight Summer Ale
This summer seasonal from Deschutes offers an aroma of fresh wheaty, malty notes, which are reprised in a firm palate and a crisp, slightly hoppy finish.
Nicely balanced malt and hop qualities, with 35 IBUs.
Not too heavy, not too light, its 5 percent alcohol is just right for warm weather sipping.
Twilight Summer Ale is available from May to September.
Ska Mexican Style Logger
Ska Brewing’s Mexican Style Logger is another seasonal and, of course, this one is really a lager. Ska Brewing is an18 year-old brewery based in Durango, Colorado making around 13 well-regarded brews. This one is all about fresh grain and sweet malt. At 18 IBU, I don’t get much hoppy character but I don’t think that’s the point anyway. Coming in at 4.2 percent ABV, Logger closes with a clean, crisp finish. Mexican Logger is available in cans through September.
