bottle: pint glass: not such a great beer too be honest... thin body, so so flavor with very mild complexity. A muddled mix of hops and grains, some lemons, lots of water.

US trip Aug/Sept 2009 - pale golden with thin white head, clean malt nose. Crisp and clean bite to the finish, but perhaps a little unmemorable

12 oz. Bottle. Pour a clear yellow. Light white head. Smells of malt and some fruit. Tastes include malt and a hint of citrus. Average beer.

(Draught at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 8 Aug 2009) Golden yellow colour with greenish hints. Frothy, white head. Malty, bready nose with notes of grass, hay and some hints of tropical fruit. Malty, bready taste with grass and a touch of citrus. Well balanced and dry. Clean and fresh but hardly exciting. Decent.

Summerfest is a very light refreshing lager Pours a clear yellow, with a nice bitterness on the finish. Hoppy aroma with hints of citrus. Very drinkable and refreshing.
