Summit Lazy Sipper

Summit Lazy Sipper. Proudly brewed in St. Paul, Minnesota. Hops, malts, and strawberries. 4.7% ABV, 19 IBU.

Clear, golden-toned, able head of ivory froth atop. 

In the nose: mild fruit in the aromatics, minor hops, low malt. Strawberry scent hovers over all. 

In the mouth: Hey, there it is again. More strawberry. Light-bodied, refreshing, delightful. A blonde ale, strawberry-flavored. Nothing wrong with that. Nicely balanced, ending dry. Pretty alright.

I tried this for the first time last year, not at the State Fair, but at their anniversary backyard bash in September. I liked it okay, then, and I like it okay now.
