I hate the style, but this is a good looking beer for it's particular style with a pale ale orangey color. The head is impressively thick. A pillow of white bubbles that retain very well. A thick lace is left behind.It smells like Budweiser, at least until you give it a swirl. A new head forms and somehow, all scents disappear. Pilsner malts, which I don't care for, and savory Noble hops, which I also don't care for. Tastes like dirty water with a butter, savory hop hit.I don't care for this, likely a drain pour coming up. Very, extremely carbonated, which exacerbates the poor mouth feel. A bit of corny sweetness.Not sure why a craft brewery would brew what is basically a Budweiser with Saaz hops. Makes no sense to me. Isn't that what craft brewers are supposed to avoid?

Recently had a chance to revisit out of the bottle. Bright gold to copper in color with a fluffy white head. A nice lace is left on the rim as the head settles into the glass. The nose has some light citrus, just a little grapefruit and orange. This is followed by caramel sweetness and just a touch of green apple. The flavor has the caramel up front, but is followed by a mild citrus hop flavor. This gives it just a slight bitterness. Nice light and smooth mouth feel. Great drinkability. Good summer beer. Not up there with Oberon or Skinny Dip, but a nice refreshing beer none the less.

Pours a clear straw color with little head. Mild aroma of bready yeast and floral hops. Light to medium bodied and nicely carbonated. It has a pleasantly mild bread and butter grain taste followed by a hint of perfumy hop flavor. Has a slight spicy bitterness to finish. Highly refreshing, this brew is perfect for the warmer months.

Another sip of beer and a big breath...Poured beautifully. Nice head, nice lacing all the way down the glass. Color is very light/golden. Carbonation is nice and continues throughout the beer drinking experience. Smell is... citrusy. I like the taste of this beer. Citrus is followed by hops. At one point I tasted a grassy note. Definitely drinkable. Mouthfeel is smooth with some carbonation.Nothing about this beer jumped out at me as astonishingly good or bad. (Friendly tips about reviewing, esp. about describing smell/taste, welcome) (601 characters)AnneB, May 20, 20093.78/5 rDev +1.6%look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4Sampled for a 22 oz bomber provided courtesy of skyhand. Gorgeous, delicate light golden with a perfectly formed creamy white head that laced beautifully. Crisp, herbal aroma of classic spicy czech hop varieties mixed with a slightly unexpected background of sweet fruit (apricot, pear). Flavor continues on this theme. Exceedingly fresh, crisp, & clean with generous amounts of herbal, peppery hops. Bready malts balance this brew out nicely, with more sweet pear and hints of orange rind. With the name "Summer Beer", I'm slightly confused as to which style this real fits into (not that it really matters). I'm not picking up any of the classic american hop varieties, actually it seems to display quite a few characteristics of a good fresh (and heavily hopped) pilsner. Of course, with the sweet fruit, I don't think pils is the right classification (though it does seem closer than American Pale Ale). Anyhow, this one is certainly an exceptionally drinkable, refreshing, & bright brew that is a treat on a hot day. Many thanks for this one.

Malt sweetness is present but not dominant. Good amount of Saaz bitterness gives the beer a nice kick. A very quality brew.

It's so unlike an Adjunct Lager, but apparently they use plenty of malt along with the corn pone or whatever else goes in the kettle.Pleasant hoppy burr with a grainy, bright flavor. Modest bitter finish with the resiny darkness in the back of the throat. Long grainy aftertaste, like cooked farro or spelt, with a hint of butter and buckwheat.Quite drinkable bigger than average lager with a decent bitter nibble. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Malt & Vine in Redmond, Wash.

Head is two fingers of pillowy white foam. Not bad.Smell: slightly grainy malt aroma; slightly grassy as well. Hops are a little funky and floral; a pretty well-balanced combination, I'd say.Taste: grainy and refreshing. The grain doesn't go as far into sourness as some other examples of this style. Bitterness comes in at the end and seems harsh. This beer isn't fantastic, but it's near the top for the style.Mouthfeel: light to medium-light body; not a lot of character. Carbonation is there but it doesn't seem fizzy or creamy or anything; just plain.Drinkability: well, this is a refreshing brew. I'm sure on a hot day I could guzzle this stuff. Still, there's a hair too much alcohol to make this a quenching session brew. It's alright, but not great.

Thanks, TheBungyo, for the opportunity (670 characters)brentk56, Jul 21, 20074.15/5 rDev +11.6%look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 5At first this reminded me of a "lighter" witte beer. But then I realized it didn't have the herbal characteristics typical of witte's. Good malt backbone, nice bright hop flavor that is more of an essence than a prominent flavor. Very easy drinking and thirst quenching. The bomber was just the right size on a hot day.

Poured from a 22 oz. bottle into a pilsener glass. Bottle says it's a pilsner.a - Pours a couldy bright yellow color with two fingers plus of fluffy white head and moderate carbonation evident. Spotty lacing left on the glass and a few whisps of white head remain throughout drinking it.s - Smells of bready malts, grains, light floral notes, and light fruity malts. Pretty nice actually.t - Tastes of grains, bready malts, wheat, and biscuit. A lot blander than the nose, and a step down, though not awful.m - Medium mody and moderate carbonation. Pretty easy to drink.o - Overall a decent beer, though nothing special. Definitely more of an American Adjunct lager than a pilsner, and for that style, not too bad at all. No skunkiness and some nice floral and sweetness in the nose. Not something I'd seek out again, but could be a good local alternative for the BMC crowd. (963 characters)mdfb79, Nov 13, 2011
