Sweet Redemption

A summer beer with a little bit of hops, tasty.  Southern Tier’s Hop Sun is categorized by Beer Advocate as an American Pale Wheat Ale, which is a good description.  It actually tastes a little more like a pale ale than a wheat beer.

It’s a nice, clear, golden ale, with just a mild head.  Sorry, I’m not too verbose tonight – you try doing this every night!  (On that topic, I do have to hand it to my friend Tony, who is posting a pretty lengthy blog article, complete with pictures of beautiful scenery and food, every day on his two week Hawaiian vacation.  Check it out!)

Summer Song:  From their album Indian Summer, here’s a track from Carbon Leaf.
