Alright, just drank one and I must say it is very, very good. However, unlike other Summer beers, it doesn't say on the package or bottle what "flavor" they infused the beer with. It has a slight apricot ting, at least to me, but it isn't overpowering. It tastes more like beer than any other Summer one I've tried. It's light and crisp. If I had to compare it to another beer I'd say Shiner Ruby Redbird, but the Shiner has a more fruity taste.

I liked the mild winter. Went through a few kegs of it while I could get it. The summertime is good enough, but I'll buy it by the six pack.

Ruby Redbird get a surprising amount of love around here, and by surprising I mean a couple people like it. I'm a big fan of grapefruit and an even bigger fan of ginger (speaking of, Suspense, I just remembered I said I would bring fresh ginger and a French press to WYES and I spaced on it. DOH!), but Ruby Redbird needs to play with the malt and switch to an ale to balance those harsh grapefruit and ginger flavors out.

Pass, if it is comparable to that redbird shite, no thanks. I thought that beer was awful.
