I invited Mel to my roof to drink beers and talk about boys. I had a brand-new six pack of Michelob ULTRA Light Cider.

"It tastes like a Jolly Rancher," she said.

She was partially right. Cider is brewed the same way beer is brewed; however, cider uses apples instead of beer's barley and hops. Michelob ULTRA Light Cider provides a crisp fruit taste without being sickeningly sweet like with those "hard" lemonades. ULTRA Light Cider boasts all-natural ingredients, including hand-picked apples, and is naturally sweetened with stevia. It's also gluten free, which can't be said for most beers. All for only 120 calories.

For Melissa, she’s a fan of the Michelob ULTRA line. When she’d headed to my place, she was coming from her softball game. Tomorrow, she’ll be going to CrossFit. She depends on the low-calorie and low-carb counts of Michelob ULTRA when she does drink alcohol. In addition to the light cider, Michelob ULTRA also offers Lime Cactus and Pomegranate Raspberry favored pilsners.

For a beer drinker like me, I enjoyed that the apple taste was subtle. It was something light and refreshing that could be enjoyed when it's really hot outside. It was a summertime option to the traditional ciders, which in my opinion are too heavy or sweet to be enjoyed on an outdoor patio. When my skin is cooking, I want something light.

We stood on my roof and enjoyed the ciders as we watched the sun set and gabbed about boys. When the sky turned a cool pink, the streams of lights decorating the roof illuminated the evening. I stood with Mel and watched the sun set behind the high rises. It was the perfect evening.

Which favorite summer meal or activity do you think would go best with Michelob ULTRA Cider?
