DrHomolka (726), Columbus, Ohio, USA May 4, 2009 Bottled on 3/27/09. Pours a Pilsner yellow with a small but compact white head. Aroma shows significant lemon and citrus, pilsner malt marmalade. Yellow cake. Flavor is clean, dry, and to the point. Super clean with a dry, super quick finish. This is fine, really, about what you’d expect. Not bad if it’s what you’re in the mood for. BVery (446), Burnsville, Minnesota, USA May 3, 2009 TAP: gold/yellow pour, citrus & light malt on the nose, on taste add to that a slight amount of hop character and carbonation. Not spectacular, but decent. daknole (2805), Plantation, Florida, USA Apr 28, 2009 Tap at GI. Yellow/gold pour. Some light citrus hop, grain and malt. Flavor is just ok. clean and fresh with citrus, fair malt character and lively carbonation. johndoughty (2150), cheslyn hay, West Midlands, England Apr 27, 2009 Bottle. Yellow and initially crisp but lacks flavour. First impressions are quite good but any taste and charater soon dissapear. Dissapointing and wouldn’t expect it to be a big seller in Cologne. bhensonb (4187), Woodland, California, USA Apr 23, 2009 Bottle at the O’Hare venue. The only change here seems to be the seasonal bottle. Pale gold color, slightly hazy, with an ok white head. Light citrus aroma over pale malt. Medium minus body with mild carbonation. Flavor is light hop over light malt. More dry than not. Seems a kolsch. mnovacanes (48), Munster, Indiana, USA Apr 21, 2009 Appearance: moderately rich gold color for the style; mild haze; white head with above average persistence
Aroma: overall, still quite muted; maybe light malt plus slight hop; does have mild fruit aroma;
Flavor: light fruity sweetness; low to medium-low bitterness; low hop presence; good spark from carbonation
Mouthfeel: textbook; smooth and crisp; closer to medium body; high carbonation chicagodri (1021), Chicago, Illinois, USA Apr 18, 2009 Seriously, over 60 Goose Island ratings and I never rated the Summertime? I remember really loving this beer when I first started drinking non garbage. Pours gold with white head. Just a little bit of hops to add some bitterness and citrus and a nice body. Makes this beer really easy to drink in the summertime. I prefer this over the 312. Alldaydrinker (557), Norwood, Massachusetts, USA Apr 11, 2009 Pours yellow color with a small white head. Nose of fruits, grainy, earthy hops. Inital taste is grainy like the aroma, touch of citrus, small balancing sweetness, some resin. Finishing with a average palate duration and decent hop balance. Refreshing and crisp.Average head retention. Good balancing carbonation.
