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.

Poured from 12oz bottle(room temp) a yellow-gold with a medium sized head of foam that reduced to a fine layer but it stayed for the entire session.
The smell has is kind of citrusy and earthy. Reminds me of a lot of lagers.
The taste has a nice citrus hop flavour up front followed by good sweet malty notes, and a bit of the earthiness I mentioned in the smell, midway through with the hops character returning in the finish. Good stuff.
Bottom line: This is first time I've seen this beer in Casper and I think it'll make an excellant thirst quencher on a hot summer day. I recommend it.

Enjoyed whilst on a work trip to Memphis, after a long day at the warehouse it was refreshing to knock back this crisp, cold lager with a light malt backbone and touch of citrus hop bitterness

Old rating. Bottle from Old Town. Cloudy gold with an off-white head. Aromas of grain, fruit and citrus. Taste is more of the same. Nice carbonation and refreshing. A bit grainy but ok.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy straw with airy white head. Clear aroma of yeast, hops and malt. Bitter, hoppy flavour, with citric touches and notes of yeast and malt. Bitter afteraste with estery notes. Well balanced, refreshing and enjoyable. A decent American Pilsener.

Bottle from Drinkstore [250914]
Light pale yellow, clear, frothy white head
Aroma of pale malt, slight grain
Taste of pale malts, soft sweet cereal, light bread, touch of spicy hops
Palate - Medium carb, light body, bit oily. Finish of slight bitter hops, sweet light pale malt
Overall - Dull lager, forgettable. Easily the bottom of the Sierra Nevada beers I’ve tried
