The Summer Ales of England inspire our well-loved seasonal beer, Surfer's Summer Ale. With a brilliant gold color, and a fruity, floral, and herbal aroma from Glacier hops, Surfer's Summer Ale is a refreshing, tasty treat. A sweet, toasted malt flavor comes from the Golden Promise malt, and combines with bread-like wheat character to give this beer a full-bodied, rounded malt aspect. Finishing smooth and clean, Surfer's Summer Ale exhibits a wonderful balance and character.

Darron's Tasting Notes

One of our most popular seasonal beers, Surfer’s Summer Ale hits the shelves this year with an updated label and a new look. Fortunately for all you Surfer’s fans, however, the beer remains unchanged. And why would we want to change such a good thing?

With its floral, herbal hop aroma, rich biscuit-like malt profile, and toasted bread wheat flavors, Surfer’s Summer Ale is both flavorful and very well balanced. A smooth, snappy finish enhances the refreshing character, lending this beer equally well to pairing with fresh-caught rockfish, grilled steaks, or just on its own with a sunny patio and a sunset!
