Description: 

Back for 2015 in Bottle Folly Packs, SOMERSAULT ALE was designed to be a fun roll around on the tongue while requiring only the minimum of palate gymnastics. In other words, this perfect summer lounge around beer is ridiculously fun and easy to drink. Even though the second Somersault goes down as effortlessly the first, our brewer Grady actually has quite a few remarkable notes at play in the nose, flavor and mouthfeel. There is an opening brace of citrus aroma from Centennial hops, a soft apricot fruitiness tucked into the flavor, a fresh snap from a sliver of ginger root, finished with oats in a long cool mash. Color is blonde with a suggestion of cloudiness. Somersaults all around! (Description provided by company)

New Belgium's Somersault pours a clean and clear golden color with a white bubbly head. The nose is bright and hop-heavy, and the taste is similar. Biscuit notes and citrus round it out. A bit of a tangy mouthfeel makes this one a refreshing beer for summer.
