Bridgeport Summer Squeeze is a summer seasonal that incorporates yuzu fruit and lemongrass, making it a light, refreshing beer that is perfect for its season. It is golden like the sun, with a thick, white, cloud-like foam on top. The smell is wonderful, with the lemongrass coming out strongly along with some other citrus hints. There are some sweet and sour smells that accompany the citrus as well, which makes for a nice, complex aroma.
The taste is just as satisfying as the aroma, with the lemon and other citrus flavors leading the way. It’s much like a beery-lemonade, but it doesn’t taste like a cheap beer mixed with lemonade like some other summer brews. There’s just enough hops to make sure it’s refreshing and not too malty, but I believe Summer Squeeze still leans toward malts. The sourness of the yuzu fruit doesn’t come out too much in the flavor, but that’s okay as the sweet lemon and grains make it extremely refreshing and something that I look forward to all year.
