Jul 3, 2008 This is a summer brew, so I had it cold, in a pilsner glass. Medium gold color, with a little snow on the roof. Decent malty aroma with a little yeast and a touch of hops. This is a fairly bold lager, malty and crisp, with a touch of sweetness. Lightly bitter, tingly finish. It is refreshing, but not wimpy - another fine brew by Sierra Nevada.

Jul 2, 2008 Bottle. Pours gold, not much of a head. Aroma is of hops and straw. Thicker to the palate than the average lager. Hop flavor with so malt.

Jul 1, 2008 Pours a light gold with a perfect 5/8-inch head. The flavor is indeed hoppy and bitter but not so complex at all. As far as lagers go, this is one of the best. Other than that, it’s not especially impressive. If you like the style, this is great. For me, it’ll likely be the 1st and last time.

Jun 30, 2008 Poured a light copper, mostly clear, and slightly bubbly. Smell was nothing out of the ordinary and the taste was only slightly less boring. Nothing partiularly distinct about this one, but not bad. Drinkable but extremely average. I’d much rather celebrate summer with some flavor.

Jun 30, 2008 2008 Bottle and served in my SN pint glass: Clean golden hue with a small but lasting frothy head which left spotty lace upon the glass. The aroma has notes of noble grassy hops, biscuity pale malts, dusty yeast ester, and some fruity esters as well. The taste starts with a crisp bitterness supported by light Munich malt. Simple and straight forward drinking beer. The mouth feel is sprite and very refreshing, a easy to drink summer session beer indeed. A solid lager for the season, get it fresh.

Jun 29, 2008 Bottle. This tasted just like Sierra Nevada, period. I found no difference. A good beer none the less.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of lemon, other light fruits, nuttiness (maybe hazelnut?), grassy/floral hops. Flavor takes a turn for spicy in the hop department, a very different emphasis than in the nose, but both equally solid. Didn’t find the body watery at all. Good stuff.
