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.

Apperance: Pours a clear, pale yellow body with a small, white head. Smell: Mildy malty, wheat aroma with some subtle hints of floral and spice. Taste: Sweetish, slightly grainy maltiness. Crackery wheat taste. Some floral and spice. Relatively light bittneress. Finishes light and crisp with a faint taste of sourdough. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Ideal for light drinking, it aspires to little more. Leaves me yearning for an Oberon, though!

The perfect beer for summertime. The aroma is fruity, while the flavor is smooth and light-bodied. Easy to drink, and even easier to enjoy.

Clear bubbly yellow with a little white head. Smell is doughy and sweet and slightly sour. Flavor is watery lemon and wheat. Highly carbonated and watery.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a thin finely-bubbled head. The aroma is very wheaty with a fresh floral touch of hops and bready, malted wheat. The flavor starts very wheaty, bready, and malty with a subtle touch of spice (fresh baked cookies with hints of nutmeg). There is also a light touch of floral hops. The finish is spicy with a crackery malt character and a nice balance of malted wheat and soft noble hops. The mouthfeel is medium in body with a light spritziness. Overall, a very refreshing, flavorful, tasty, well-balanced American wheat beer. I think this is beer is quite underrated - the average score is much lower than I would have expected.

on tap @ papago... pale gold/brownish pour with a thin white head. smells like honey, wheat/grain and orange... nothing else, really. there’s a barely noticeable sweetness on the palate... flavors of honey without the sweet, grain, some soft citrus and a tart dry finish. light to medium body with a bright mouth feel. good for drinking if you don’t want to think about it.
