Sierra Nevada Summerfest Lager
12 ounce stubby brown bottle poured into a 16 ounce shaker pint glass. I'm generally a fan of ales over lagers but hey it's summertime and I like SN's brews so I'll give this one a whirl. A - A clear, well carbonated transparent yellow with a nearly two finger white head sitting up top. Not my favorite look for a beer but definitely where they're going with this one. S - A clean smell loaded with pilsner malt. Some mild hoppy tones. T - A clean taste of pilsner malt with a very clean finish. No realy aftertaste to speak of. M - Thin light bodied with moderate carbonation. D - A good quencher for yardwork and a clean session beer. Notes: Def a step up from the mass produced pils/euro plaes such as Labatt's or Heineken. I'm not really a fan of the style but this goes down easy. I drank it a little warmer than optimal temp for this style because my beer fridge is kept as cellar/cool temp and lagers generally go better on a summer day served colder.
