Indian Summer
Spiced Ale
Indian Summer is a
light-bodied beer brewed in
the American Wheat
tradition, then flavored with
Orange Peel and Coriander.  
This thirst quenching ale has
a beautiful citrus aroma and
a light body.  The
clean-fermenting yeast allow
the spices to take center
stage.
Indian Summer was Lazy Magnolia's very first Seasonal
Selection.  Intended for release in late summer, Hurricane
Katrina had different plans.  The first batch was packed
and ready to go when the storm of the century wreaked
havoc on the coast.  Fortunately, most of the beer survived
the power outage, and the good folks of Hattiesburg got
their first taste of Indian Summer in October 2005.  The
beer was such a big hit that we didn't have enough to send
anywhere else!  The rest of Mississippi would have to
wait til late 2006 to try Indian Summer.

The second round of Indian Summer was similarly a big
hit as people on the Gulf Coast and the Delta experienced
the wonders of this excellent brew.  The response from
our customers has been so overwhelming that we decided
to make this a year-round selection.

If you like Par-3 you will love Indian Summer.  It is
similarly light in body, low in carbs and calories, and low
in hop bitterness.  On the other hand, if you've never been
a fan of light beers, this one may very well change your
mind.

Indian Summer's clean and crisp flavor profile is
accentuated by high carbonation and the citrus aromas of
orange peel and coriander.  Indian Summer also makes an
excellent Session Beer.  A Session Beer is defined as one
that you can enjoy for several pints within a couple of
hours and still carry on an intelligent conversation.  

Other commercially available beers that use Orange Peel
and Coriander in the recipe include Blue Moon and
Widmer Hefewiesen.  Indian Summer has a very different
flavor from these beers however, because it is brewed
with a yeast strain that does not produce fruity and spicy
aromas.  
We don't tell people what to like,
we just give them great choices!
