THIS JOURNEY IS NOW COMPLETE! This was a challenge I undertook from Feb 2011 to Feb 2012. Thanks to everyone that kept me going! Feel free to read through and comment, I am now also periodically adding reviews here as I sample other beers that I did not come across during the challenge.

Deschutes Brewery Twilight Summer Ale
Deschutes done brought the whole fruit market to this one. It you close your eyes while drinking it you can almost hear an Italian man shouting "ONE DOLLAR, TWO
DOLLAR!". There is a whole hand basket full of different sweet and spicy flavours here, followed by a bitter malty hop finish.
The body is slim to moderate, but in this instance you wouldn't want it any different. It goes down an absolute treat, and was a perfect beer to drink on a sunny day. While it is just Spring not Summer, it still hit the spot.
Another very well balanced beer. It has a beginning, a middle and an end, with neither really being the standout performer. It's not going to win an award, but I
would trust this beer to hit an Apple on my head with an arrow more than I would William Tell.
This beer scores well because it fulfills it's intention. I don't really know what a 'Summer Ale' is meant to officially be, but this is an ale, and it is a top drink
on a hot day.
