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 (49), Munster, Indiana, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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 (558), Norwood, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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. brewblackhole (1370), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 3, 2009 On tap at Romans on GI Night. Aroma was a slight apple tinged German malt,all very soft as it should be,this style not known for a big fragrance, Taste mostly grainey with just a hint of tartness, and some noticeable bittering,little bite from the carbonation, pleasant as can be, probaly tastes better when its more like summer FunkyBrewster (449), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 1, 2009 Ours a shiny golden yellow with a thick creamy white head. Aroma is very nice fresh grain that doesn’t come across as stale or old. Nice bits of citric fruit and just a hint of spicy hops. Flavor starts with a burst of sweet citric fruit that is inviting and refreshing. Picks up some grain and bread notes before giving a spicy hop bite towards the finish that tickles the tongue through the swallow leaving a dry crisp finish. Medium body and active carbonation. Really resfresing for the kolsch style and perfect for the hot dog days of summer. shawnm213 (915), South Bend, Indiana, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Mar 29, 2009 Great fluffy head. Nice lace finish. Sour, grainy nose. Powdery palate. It does have a crisp kolsh flavor but very citrusy. Leaves something to be disired.
