maltdog (509), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Jun 22, 2009 Clear sunny yellow, spongy white head. Gentle malt aromas whisper grass, green bananas and honey. Crisp with the butter-balsawood taste I normally associate with American pilsner malt, plus a little bit sufury/minerally/skunky. A touch of DMS in the aftertaste. Medium bodied and gassy. jbye4334 (652), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Jun 21, 2009 (bottle at Summit Brewfest in Colorado Springs). Pours a clear yellow color. Small white head. Light grass aroma. Light bitter flavor. Avg duration. Lively carbonation. dalek123 (103), Houston, Texas, USA Jun 20, 2009 Pours golden with a thick white head that fades quickly. Light carbonation. Slight sweetness upfront,then a delicious bite of bitterness . A great alternative to most American pale lagers for easy drinking. wxman (582), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA Jun 20, 2009 Updated: Jul 11, 2009Pours a clear pale golden with a substantial thick white head. Aroma is sweet grass and some earthiness. Taste is sweet pale malt and a bit of caramel. Hop bitterness after the swallow a little higher than the style would dictate, though all flavors are well balanced. DiabolikDUB (143), Portland, Oregon, USA Jun 15, 2009 Poured from Bottle into Pint Glass.
Pours a crystal clear straw color with a good finger of bubbly foam that quickly dissolves and leave a fine ring around the glass. The aroma has sweet nutty malts and some earthy, grassy hops. The flavor is sweet caramel malt upfront that is supported with some bitter hops towards the end. Its a light bodied beer with lots of carbonation. Summerfest is a very easy drinking beer but I’m still trying to work into the lager thing so I probably won’t be grabbing more of this soon. KnN (712), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Jun 12, 2009 Pours a golden yellow color with a bright white head and a lot of carbonation. Sierra Nevada’s Take on a pale lager. A little biscuity, the slightest hint of hops. Pretty decent. TearsforBeers (171), Ohio, USA Jun 7, 2009 This is basically a glorified American pale lager. It’s better than most, but not that great. blklab2007 (938), Connecticut, USA Jun 7, 2009 2009 bottle poured a light golden in color with heavy streaming carbonation and a dollop of white foam. aroma has pilsner malt, light bitterness, and some straw. light and refreshing mouth feel. flavor has nice pilsner malt, bitter aged hops, and just a touch of sweetness. this is not a wow beer but it is clean and easy drinking.
