Memorial Day 2013: Best Beer To Buy For The Start Of Summer

How are you celebrating Memorial Day this year? Hopefully you are enjoying a nice, relaxing BBQ with friends, family and of course your favorite beer! If you are looking to change it up and taste some of summer's best beers this list is perfect for you! These summer time brews are sunny with citrus and fresh flavors. Before you settle on your favorite, try them all out!

Brooklyn Summer Ale

A modern spin on the classic "Light Dinner Ale" these refreshing beer packs a flavorful taste without being too heavy. This golden beer has a crisp bitterness paired with a citrus aroma, the prefect combination for a summer day!

Harpoon Summer Beer

Harpoon Summer Beer is more of a lager compared to the Brooklyn Summer Ale, but it still manages to be light and refreshing. The taste is described as crisp and bitter with a hint of lemon. Harpoon Summer is a twist on a German Kölsch-style ale that possesses a dry and crisp finish.

Angry Orchard Cider: Elderflower

While it is not a beer, this is probably my favorite drink on the list! With the addition of the elderflower in this apple based cider, things start to get tropical, fruity! The full bodied taste provides hints of pear, citrus and lychee fruits! Angry Orchard Elderflower is a perfect balance between crisp apples and sweet flowers, making this perfect drink to sip on during a hot and sunny afternoon.

Blue Moon Summer Honey Wheat

A classic summer time beer but a reliable one! This beer is as golden as summer sun and smells nearly as sweet as summer days. Blue Moon Summer Honey Wheat is true to its name with hints of honey, clover and malt in its well-balanced taste. A little heavier than the other beers on this list, it provides a light honey finish with a citrus smell.

Shock Top Belgian White

Another full-bodied beer for our beer lovers! Brewed with orange, lemon, lime and mixed spices, this beer is an explosion of citrus flavors for your taste buds! A smooth and refreshing finish, Shock Top is prefect when topped with an orange slice!
