beer_name: Sierra Nevada Summerfest Lager
text: Pours a nice gold with a healthy white head. Lots of carbonation streaming upwards, very lager-esque. Hops dominate the aroma, some pine and a touch of grapefruit. Mild malt backbone but they are a little thin on the palate, the use of west coast hops makes this different from typical Euro pale lagers, instead of grass or herbs, the flavor is pine. That is a good thing, but the pine has no malts to hold on too, and the flavor is a bit off. Finishes grainy. Medium to light bodied, as a lager should be. Refreshing. Think of this a Sierra Pale Ale's slightly ugly cousin, It's Sierra in lager form, but that just doesn't work out.
