Victory Summer Love Ale

With the onset of summer around the corner (or 2 days ago for Austin), sweet, lightly hopped brews from all over the country are starting to surface.  The pale ale is generally the king of BBQ season, and we've got a pretty good one from Pennsylvania's Victory Brewing Company.  The Summer Love Ale uses German and European hops with some pale malts to create a light, crisp, and casually hoppy beer.  It's an easy transition from the basic lagers that accompany most Barbecues and has just enough bitter hop flavor to grab the IPA fan that wants something a little smoother.  Remember, it's already 90 degrees outside, and damn it, we need something refreshing.  At any rate, the Summer Love Ale is a pretty good way to relax and forget about how much you're sweating.  Ahh.
