Mankato Ceres Summer Ale. american wheat ale. 4.5% ABV. 24 IBU.
Clear, bright golden coloring, under a sizable, milky white head of lacing foam.
Aroma: cereal grains, minor hops, some malt sweetness. Grape Nuts meets Granola.
Taste: Wetness, lightness, and not much else. Cereal-y, for sure, very minimal malt, and exceedingly minimal flavor. It's a light one, an easy-drinker, a patio-pleaser, and definitely one for the in-laws and the poker buddies. Good for the dock or the boat or for cooking with what ever you want to do with it, but it's not for me. Clearly, they didn't think of me when they invented Ceres Summer Ale.
Well, that's okay, more for the rest of them.
"You will find this beer in your local bars, restaurants, and liquor stores in April and gone sometime in July.
Named for the Roman goddess of agriculture and grain, Mankato Brewery’s Ceres Summer Ale is a crisp take on an American Wheat Ale. The barley and wheat malts are complimented with lively hops and sweet orange peel, for a refreshing finish."
Honestly, I didn't encounter the wheat anywhere in this pint. Huh. What do you know about that?
