Victory Brewing Seasonal Favorites Summer Love Golden Ale 3.75/5

Summer Love from Victory Brewings' Seasonal Favorites series is up this week. Victory has some good brews in their lines and this one is no slouch. Billed as a Golden Ale she runs 5.2 ABV ,best guess of 25 for the IBUs and the( By My Eye) BME/ SRM is a solid sunny/lemony 8. With no real history of this brew on their page I imagine they were trying to break into the "Lightly Hopped" craze from a couple of years back. Unfortunately this one is a miss for me. With Simcoe and Tettnang being the hop blend they said they were shooting for a "Lemony-Piney" angle.
On the nose she is hop forward with the pine from the Tettnang overlying the lemony-citrus of the simcoe, pleasant and appealing to the the sniffer. On the initial hit she is piney/hoppy with a nice solid mouth fill and then the piney disappears. Medium thru the middle with a solid blonde ale flavor. The pine comes back on the finish at the very back end. She is dry and dirty when all is said and done. A very interesting brew and if hop fade is what they were designing they did a great job. Not bad but not going into the rotation.
Thanks for coming by and having a cold one with Pima, Sancho and I.
