Having dry hopped the crappers out of it, the brewers have created something resembling a tropical fruit salad melange: mango, passionfruit, pineapple – all the best fruits are there. But despite such notable presence that’s all, somehow, not ended up as a sickeningly sweet solution, mainly because it’s been balanced on a tight malt base and comes with a finish that’s all dry and refreshing. When you wrap all that up in a surprisingly beefy 6.1 percent ABV package, the ease with which the Summer Hop Ale goes down, then demands to be downed again, could spell trouble for young players.
