Midrange summery wheat ale brewed with lemon peel and grains of paradise retains fruity crispness. Coriander-spiced mandarin orange dots white-peppered hop spritz to wheat-honeyed backend.

Mediocre straw-paled summer seasonal brings thin honey wheat moderation to washed-out mandarin orange, lemon zest, and tangerine lag, becoming astringent. Nominal coriander spicing fades into cloying clover honeyed cough-drop finish, abating citric lollop. Serve to blander tastes only.

Summery blue-canned moderate body ain’t bad for macrobrewed fluff. Billowy white-headed, pale-yellowed session beer with understated hop-spiced tingle and slim crystal malting plies grassy straw-wheat-hay earthiness to herb-tinged lemon peel zest and faintest pineapple-grapefruit tang. Watery texture lowers appeal.

Brisk medium-bodied summer refresher (circa 2011) maintains syrupy peach-lacquered apricot tang above fizzy hop pep to honeyed wheat spine. Sweet lemonade whim caresses sunny Belgian witbier-like citron twist at midst. Herbal-spiced coriander, ginger, lemongrass, menthol, spearmint, and eucalyptus illusions make small cameos. A strapping seasonal bettering most delicate summertime lightweights.

Closer to a lightened India Pale Ale with its wood-spiced bittering lingering across advertised lemon-peeled grains of paradise fruiting. Subsequent white-peppered Belgian-like candi-sugaring and minor herbal nuances bring further peculiarities to emboldened medium-bodied seasonal.

Understated straw-hazed pearly-headed summer ale (known previously as tap-only Eugene City Tracktown Honey Orange) brings subtle candi-sugared herb-spiced fruiting to paper-thin oats spine. Mild wildflower-honeyed orange peel, lemon meringue, coriander, chamomile, and menthol adjuncts brighten salty peppered grassy hop fizz. Ancillary watermelon-soured tartness and tranquil lime spritz complete sunny light-bodied mood.

On tap, lemon zest, orange juice, and banana-clove burst forth alongside advertised grains of paradise tropicalia, satiating creamy crystal malting. Mango, peach, and tangerine make nice cameos.

Impossibly clear pinkish amber hue proves even lighter and more transparent than soft-toned session beer itself. Faint orange dryness and distant grassy-hopped bittering coerce washed-out beet-sugared strawberry-melon-apricot astringency. Subtle pale-malted Pac Mac yeast influx doesn’t suffice and vacuous citric-soured finish leaves slight metallic twinge. Sadly, summer retreat ain’t nearly ‘wacky’ enough re-tweaking Magic Hat’s equally pallid beet-crazy precursor Kerouac Ale.

Friendly moderate-bodied Belgian-styled white ale overlays up-front coriander-clove spicing and floral hop tease with steadfast orange rind bitterness. Husked wheat, dry hay, and fresh grass provide earthy touch to oncoming candied malt gloss and apricot-quince ascension, though phenol aspect disrupts herbal tea hint.

Light, watery, dry-husked summer solstice wheat ale with mildly spicy lemon spell enhancing biscuit-y bottom to undesired acidic citrus finish.

Delicious penny-coppered tropical cream ale brings luscious kiwi-mango freshness to ripe strawberry-raspberry sweetness and tart cherry dryness. Subsidiary juicy orange tang engulfs cracked wheat backdrop as vanilla-pecan notes dart across buttery kettle corn nuance and toasted almond finish for an extremely interesting summer celebrator.

Balking at traditional summer ale traits, this fizzy seasonal lacks fruity potential but procures sugary maltose finesse. Roasted barley-hop dryness finds tangy sour citrus center atop caramelized undertones. Brewery defunct: circa 2004.
