Hoppy, just like I like, but also nice and malty. I continue to be more and more impressed with the Sierra Nevada brewery. Falconseye8 (525), Cartersville, Georgia, USA

It pours a clear light golden with a thin white head. Nice hop bitterness clearly lacking in most domestic pilsners; tasty and satisfying and very smooth. This is what Budweiser would taste like if they stopped using rice in their beer. Buy a case, fire up the BBQ this summer, and enjoy a Summerfest beervana (781), Libertyville, Illinois, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 25, 2005 On tap at Maggiano’s, Chicago, IL. 12 oz bottle from the last six-pack snagged from Whole foods, Deerfield, IL. Clear golden yellow hued having large, rocky white head with good lacing. Fresh, crisp citrusy aroma. Medium bodied with creamy texture. No discernable carbonation. Starts with light nutty sweet malt taste and finishes with light bitterness. A tasty refreshing drinkable beer that should be offered year-round, not just summer. One of my favorite summer beers.

Pours a pale amber with a frothy white head has a bit of lacing as well. Very frefreshing feel in the mouth with just the right touch of a tangy hop bite at the end. Perfect for summer! sandollor (47), Germany

Golden with little head and a crisp, clean taste that stays with you; and that’s a good thing becasue this beer is in Sierra Nevada’s top 3 for me. Raytailgater (105), Rockledge, Pennsylvania, USA

Wonderful malty, full, well-balanced brew with just enough hoppiness to keep the palate, the best part, alive though also very smooth. Just great.
