Refreshing Light Summer Lager
A refreshing lager for blazing days, Summerfest balances delicate yet complex malt alongside spicy, floral hops. Hints of lemon zest lead into a crisp finish, and the sessionable 5% ABV invites another round of this summertime beer that pours golden bright like the sun.

Light yellow beer, with a almost medium and long lasting, white head. Aroma is pure, biscuity, some lemon and flowers. Taste is malty, quite fresh, some aromatic flowerness. Smooth and plesant to drink, almost medium bodied. Pure, nice palate, slightly aromatic lager, but still for Sierra Nevada’s beer this is quite balmy.

Bottle: Clear, golden with a greenish sheen, stable medium-sized white head, moderate to distinctive fresh herbal-grassy nose with some sweet malt underneath; not too dry bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied, slightly lingering dry hoppy finish with a pale-malty counterweight in the aftertaste. Convincing summer drink.....

12oz bottle from Picks poured into a lager glass. 2011 version. Pours a slightly cloudy, very pale yellow. Almost no head to speak of but whats there is bright white and dissipates almost immediately. Smells somewhat hoppy, but mostly skunky. This beer does not smell good. Lightly bitter, this beer also has somewhat of a skunk taste to it. Resembles Heiniken. Thin bodied with a thin texture. Flat carbonation and not much to speak of in way of finish. Overall, I’m not impressed. Nothing really special here and pretty much a flop. I wouldn’t drink a whole 6 pack of this stuff. Glad I only bought 1 bottle of the discount rack.

(bottle, 35cl, vintage 2011) Clear, pale golden colour with a blond and dense foamy head. Mildly pale malty aroma with notes of fresh white bread, backed by citric and flowery hops. Quite bitter flavour with a dry palate, light to medium bodied with a crisp carbonation. Soft malty base with bitter hops and mildly citric and flowery notes towards the dry finish with an assertive bitterness. Pleasant and refreshing Pilsener. 14.VII.11

Draught @ Kaisla, Helsinki
Pours light orange with a smooth head. Aroma has notes of citrus, malts and hops. Slightly fruity and smooth taste with notes of fruits and malts. Smooth finish. Easy to drink lager, but nothing special.

Purchased at Breeze Thru Liquors in Milwaukee, WI; enjoyed on a summer Saturday prior to watching the White Sox on TV. Appearance pretty clear, pale yellow with thin white head. Aroma of light hay, lager yeast, doesn’t smell too watered down. Taste is nice and crisp, there is a slight bitterness in the back end, not a bad lager, good for the warm months.

Pours gold with a large head.Nose shows weak floral/grassy hops with faint bready malt underneath.Lots of bready/grainy malt as a flavour too, dominating really. Some grassy hops also. Finishes with a grainy mild bitterness.Nice moderate carbonation, perhaps could be a bit higher?
