| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 23, 2008 Summerfest pours a light golden color with a tall head that lingers. Aromas of skunky citrus and putrefied vanilla cream. Light nectar with ample residual effers. Clean and crisp with snappy hoppsy citrus rind and slight biscuiting. The finish is bittered nicely. This is one of the best lagers out there. A great session beer. JorisPPattyn (5163), Antwerpen, Belgium
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 23, 2008 Marks for Appearance are an average, as beer was sampled in weak artificial light after dark. Very grassy nose, pale malts out in force. Again very grassy qua taste, slight & fine sweet touch, crisp. Very fizzy MF, ’smooth’. Light crisp lager - exactly what it says on the label... spikester (602), Salem, Oregon, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 22, 2008 Pours golden with slight copper tint. Minimal head and lacing. Nice aroma for a lager.
Taste is slightly hoppy lager with a bit of European flavor. Malts are subdued but o.k. Good session beer if lagers are your passion. Problem is I could have had the amber or IPA for the same $6.99. I think I prefer the Full Sail Session Lager taste-wise. If you like more euro-flavors give it a try, but try to buy a single first. ilovedarkbeer (1333), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 22, 2008 Pours a nice golden color with small white head that is soapy. Nose is pretty offensive, Catty, alcoholic, grassy and corn like. Taste is moderately bitter with some barly and a somewhat gross finish. I was not a fan. Swalden28 (1446), McKinney, Texas, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 21, 2008 Bottle. Poured a very nice looking crystal light gold with minimal white head...Aroma was nice floral/citris hops. Flavor was an obvious hop presence along with a light malty flavor finishing in a slight bitter, but had a not so pleasant after taste....Palate was very smooth light-medium body with medium carbonation. Not bad, could have done without the odd aftertaste.....Would have rated it higher.. milljam (569), Norman, Oklahoma, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 21, 2008 Updated: May 30, 2009Light crisp aroma of lemon, wheat, a hint of Saaz....and then the skunk. Flavor was malty, with a citrus middle and typical lager finish. Overall, not bad for a lager...I could probably drink a few more...wait, you didn’t here me say that. jodyperkins (70), Mississippi, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 20, 2008 2008 from bottle. Pours a light golden honey color. Not much of a head. Has a bit of a citrus taste - foamy mouthfeel. It’s not bad but it’s the worst I’ve ever had from SN. I’ve had better lagers by far.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 19, 2008 2008. I’m kinda surprised that this is not listed by year. I remember this being quite good in previous years, but this one is nothing to write home about. Pours clear honey-yellow, with a nice big foamy head. Smells of hops and dried apricots. Taste is eucalyptus and juniper. Blah.
