Appearance: Pours a clear yellow gold with an active 1/4 inch of sudsy foam. Aroma: Very light whiffs of dry malt and bitter Euro hops. Taste: Metallic, earthy hops, dry buscuity malt. Mouthfeel: Crisp, thin, watery. Overall: The beer is refreshing, and highly drinkable. This isn’t my preferred style, but wouldn’t say no to this on a hot day.

Summerfest has a pale yellow colour. Beer is thin of body, has a malty (in sense of alcohol free) mouthfeel. Modest carbonation, sophisticated hop bitter palate. Fine as a stand-in for alcfree beer, but then we could do without the alcohol.

A clear light yellow beer with a medium amount of bubbles. Small head with light lacing. The aroma is less than desired. Strong in the hops dept. The first sip gave me a small bitter beer face. Not a pleasent one to sit down and relax with.

Tap. Clear golden body. Aroma has light tones of fruit. Smooth mild taste with maltiness and fruitiness

Bottle. Actually got this for my 21st birthday last year in a six pack. Probably liked it better then than i would now but still a pretty good summer beer, very sessionable without losing all flavor like macro light beers.
