It has a solid “B+” rating on BA and should make a great session beer, especially given it’s low ABV.  Mercury/Ipswich writes:

Ipswich Summer – A light-bodied, unfiltered Blonde ale that retains the bold flavors typical of an Ipswich Ale, our Summer Ale is light enough for a hot summer day and can satisfy even the most scorching thirst.
