Tap @ brewpub poured into a tall mug with a large frothy head. Color is dark yellow, clear beer with visible carbonation. The head turns into a surface covering lacing. Aroma is actually medium-strong with sharp lemon, a very German floralness, and a clean spring earth-y maltiness. Taste is light with lemon zingy flavor, a general sharpness of flavors. Lively mouthfeel, adds to the refreshing aspect of the beer. Leaves a spring-earthy, floral aftertaste. Very quaffable and not as boring as one would think.

A reasonable kolsch for a a beergarten. Not the greatest beer in the world and had a mildly unpleasant aroma but it was probably the best beer in their sampler.

Tough to distinguish from the Pils in both taste and appearance. Quite hoppy and straw-colored. Perhaps a touch more full-bodied. By the time I got through my five-beer sampler platter and reached the Summer (it didn’t say whether it was an ale or lager), I was so tired of the video golf displays, "Fear Factor" on TV, gloomily dark interior and the unfriendly bar staff that I wanted to run screaming from this former Denny’s and never return. I tried to not let that sentiment bias my opinion of their beer.
