BrewChief: Blue Point Summer is the Cure for All Ales

The muggy thick days of July call for a cold tasty brew and according to one beer reviewer a local brewery has just what can cure the summer ails.

Blue Point Brewing Company's Blue Point Summer Ale is getting high marks from the BrewChief.com reviewer who admits to just recently trying the the summer beer.

Here's what he had to say:

"I recently enjoyed a point of this tasty nectar on a visit to my favorite local pub. It was just what the beer doctor ordered seeing as how the temperature was cresting 100 degrees that day. Ouch.

... On the nose, I was surprised to find a buttery aroma assert itself as the dominant trait. Resting just underneath were some grassy notes similar in fashion to a good lager. This brew definitely had my curiosity peaked, so I dove right in for that first taste.

I immediately noticed that this beer was amazingly smooth and creamy for a summer ale. No crispness, no tangy notes, just soft and silky. The hop profile is mild and complimentary, adding a touch of sweet citrus to the flavor profile. From there I could taste the savory grassy notes and some faint herbal qualities. The finish is very clean and leaves a sweet buttery aftertaste. It's a delightful summer brew that is really easy to drink. To be honest, this beer drinks more like a standard cream ale than a blonde ale or a pale ale. If I had to put a style designation on it, I would call it a pale-cream hybrid.

Overall, Blue Point's Summer Ale is a worthy addition to any summertime cooler. It's very flavorful, easy to drink, and endlessly refreshing. Consequently, I can happily recommend this brew to any and all beer fans. Seasoned drinkers will enjoy it as a thirst quenching option with memorable flavor. Novices will find it to be a delicious introduction into better beer, showing them once and for all that light and refreshing doesn't have to mean bland and flavorless. I will definitely be adding Blue Point's Summer Ale to my coolers this summer. Whether or not I can keep them stocked remains to be seen."
