One of my least favorites from this brewery. They do hoppy and malty well, but I don’t think they have the summer lager down... In any case, it’s light and a bit fruity, but really I just thought of it as very plain. Still, I guess not bad for the style. Not as thin as I find most pilsner/lager styles.

Decent pils with all your favorite summertime flavors. Bit harsh over the palate though.

Poured a pale golden color with a head that left quick. Aroma of fruit and floral hops. It has a fruity taste with a little bitter in the finish. Not as good as other Sierra Nevada’s.

Bottled. Aroma has hops, some grains, flowers. Clear, golden coloured with a lasting, white head. The taste is a little sweet, slightly bitter. It has flowery, bit grainy hoppiness. Some citrus in it. Nice balanced and slightly more body than a normal lager. Quality beer.

Light golden color. Moderate (higher) hoppy bitterness. Grainy, yeasty and flower with strong citrus fruits aroma. Grassy citrusy aftertaste. Crisp.
