I've seen so many beers with "summer" somewhere in their names or descriptions that I'm not really sure what I should be shooting for if I brew one. Some recipes I've seen seem to be just a standard pale ale, maybe with a bit of wheat, with spices added. Some get more complex. I'm considering brewing a weizen, and there seems to be some overlap. Would it work to start with a Bavarian-style weizen and add the various spices and such (coriander, ginger, orange, what have you) that one sees in beers labeled summery? Or is that crossing a line which must not be crossed?
