COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The brewmaster's goal: the perfect ale for summertime quaffing, nothing more. SummerBright is the result. The craftsman's touch combines white wheat, two row pale and munich malt with the pacific northwest's most intriguing hops to create a bright, clean ale ideal for picnicking, evenings on the screen porch and enjoying the whims of the summer breeze.

HonusWagner (892) - Florida, USA - AUG 9, 2012
A bleh wheaty beer with that silly light lemon finish. But a bit of an off taste really derails this from "merely inoffensive" and into "solidly below average".

Light and sweet in taste and aroma. Faint hint of something, I guess that’s the peel, but I hardly care. Drinkable, but very meh.

GuinnessHong (143) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JUL 29, 2012
Aroma is generic, somewhat akin to a mass-production beer. Clear, pale golden color, minimal head, some floating particles. Crisp, clean taste, with some citrus flavors.

I was hoping that this beer would be better than what it was very thin tasting and not much of a citrusy flavor to it ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

gripweed57 (319) - Hamilton Square, New Jersey, USA - JUL 27, 2012
12 ounce can. Cloudy pale gold color. Small white head disappears quickly. Fragrant, lemony wheat malt aroma with hints of hay. Refreshing wheat malt flavor has a light tangy citrus character. Some hops in midtaste and finish. Definitely would be good on a hot summer day.

Leafs93 (1377) - Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 23, 2012
Pours light gold with white head. Aroma is citrus, earthy and toast. Taste is sweet with very faint bitters. Light mouth feel with some stickiness. Nice beer for the beach, seems a little underrated here.

Slipstream (1775) - USA - JUL 22, 2012
The nicely blended aroma is sweet and toasty, with some yeast and lemon peel. The flavor is malted wheat, citrus, and toast, with a mild finish. Very drinkable and smooth.

Nightsky (172) - Lutz, Florida, USA - JUL 21, 2012
Light wheaty aroma. Clear and pale yellow in color. Minimal head. Light wheat taste. Not much of a finish. Tasted at Breckenridge's Ballpark location in Denver. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

jnkor (289) - Tampa, Florida, USA - JUL 21, 2012
Aroma is wheat and stale like bad beer. Completion was extremely light with little head. Taste was a tad bitter, but mostly wheat. Carbonation was enjoyable, but not much else. Had on tap at breckenridge ballpark pub on 7/21/12.

williamherbert (1121) - Syracuse, New York, USA - JUL 18, 2012
Earthy aroma; hints of lemon and orange peel. Not that strong, but pleasant enough. Some spices too. Summery, lagery and all that. Not a hop to be found. Clear straw yellow; more head than expected, and more lace too. But still average. A very lager-y flavor. That might not seem like a great description, but that’s what it is. It does have some light, fruity flavors: mostly lemon and a touch of orange. The spice of the aroma is absent in the taste. Feels watery; not a ton of staying power on the palate. This is very good for a thirst-quencher: as a beer, it’s not all that much to talk about.
