During the summer, YuleSmith is transformed into a big, hoppy, Double IPA. The enormous load of hops requires a substantial malt background to create just the right balance for a Double IPA. Lighter in color, summer YuleSmith is available around the 4th of July and is packaged in a red, white, and blue bottle.

I had purchased this bottle when I got back from Libya. I was in a mood for an IPA and had just purchased the YuleSmith Winter, so I gave it a go.
The ABV is 9.5 and the IBU rating is ??
Style - Double IPA
Glass to use- Snifter, Tulip, Oversized Wine Glass
Delivery 750ml Bottle
Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.
The Pour - Pours a cooper color with a very large white head. The head rised above the rim of the glass by 1/4" without falling over. Good lacing.
Aroma - The first thing that hits you is a banana aroma and hops. Then citrus.
Taste - Sweeter than I though, citrus with no harsh bitter aftertaste.
Mouth Feel - Crisp and clean not over carbonated. Medium body.
Drinkable - Very drinkable, could not tell it is a double. Letting it age for6 months did this brew well.
This beer pair well with cheese and meats (grilled food - BBQ).
This beer gets a Duper rating of A.
BeerAdvocate Rating =A-
Ratebeer Rating =100
