Sierra Nevada Summerfest

bottle - Pours yellow-gold with a one finger white head. It smells of pale malt and a little floral hops. The flavor is of light, slightly fruity malt with some good crisp hops that gives it more character than most lagers. It’s actually a pretty enjoyable summer brew. How ’bout that.

For someone who can barely remember the last time she had a lager, this was a nice redemption for the style. Certainly more complex than any coming out a macrobrewer, it is fizzy and light but still a touch of bitterness on the finish. Nice summer beer and/or a good crossover beer for those used to macrobrews.

Clear golden color, white head. Aroma of hay and citrus. Medium body. More complex than most lagers, nice citrus notes, good bitter finish.

Bottle. Pours a yellow golden color. Aroma is grassy, light hops, with a bit of fruitiness. Flavor is slightly astringent, grassy. Watery mouthfeel with nice carbonation. Great lawnmower beer!

Poured from the tap into a pint glss. The color is a light gold with a nice thick foamy white head and some really nice lacing. No retention as well. The smell is a bit grassy, floral hop flavor with some nice citrus flavor includeing some lemon, and orange. The taste is a bit like a pilsner. some slight traces of hops, with a nice grassy flavor with some orange flavor as well. The beer is nice and smooth, has a bit of a buttery feel that seems to just slight down after every sip. One of the better Summer beers out there.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz into a Pilsener glass. Appearance: The body has a golden yellow color with very good clarity and some nice visible carbonation. On top its head is bright white in color, slow fading and makes some nice lacing. Smell: It has a light nose of pale clean malt with a spicy and floral hop character. Taste/Mouth: The flavor is medium bodied, crisp and very clean. Dry crisp biscuity malt foams the base for the lightly spicy and floral hops. These hops give the beer a nice overall bitterness. The finish is sharp and dry with some bitterness hanging on. The texture is light and refreshing with active cleansing carbonation. Notes: A solid beer from a solid brewery! “Everybody fest”:)
