Drinktime: Mayflower Summer Rye Ale

It is the beginning of September, summer is coming to an end, and that means everything fall will be inundating the market. That includes pumpkin and fall beers. For my personal taste it is still too warm to be indulging in the bounty of fall right now.  The warm weather still warrants a light, crisp, and refreshing offering that is perfect to quench any thirst. While pumpkin and fall beers are some of my favorite, they can wait a few more weeks. A great summer beer that is perfect for the transition between summer and fall is the Summer Rye Ale from Mayflower Brewing Company. The Summer Rye Ale is brewed with a blend of rye, pilsner, and wheat malts combined with American Hops. It is a pretty mild beer with a hint of fruitiness which is perfect for a warm day. It's mildness makes this beer enjoyable to have more than just one at a time. With a low alcohol content of around 3.8%, the Summer Rye Ale will not knock you down. Besides the summer Rye Ale, Mayflower brews a fantastic IPA which I highly recommend. Mayflower is just one of the many microbreweries in Massachusetts that are brewing fantastic beers. If you have not tried any beers from Mayflower, give them a try if you see them in your local bar, pub, or liquor store.
