Beer Review: New Belgium Somersault

Written by 


Somersault is New Belgium's featured summer seasonal. Somersault is an american blonde that has a hint of a citrus aroma.  This is a light but flavorful beer that's pretty good for a hot day spent outside.  These would go down very well at the pool, or outside playing bags all day long.

 

It's got a nice golden color and and a light but flavorful taste.  With a light wheat flavor as it goes down, this beer isn't as strong as I usually like - but then again I'm a hop fiend.  I give this beer a solid B, it's a good session beer, and I'll grab a twelve pack if I'm going to the beach.  I prefer this to most of the common summer beers, if only because it's a nice change of pace.

 

Aroma: Slightly citrus

Appearance:  Golden blonde with light head

Flavor: Wheaty with citrus hints, very smooth

Body: Very light

 

This beer, like most, goes down easier on each successive glass.
