Commercial Description:
The brewmaster's goal: the perfect ale for summertime quaffing, nothing more. SummerBright is the result. The craftsman's touch combines white wheat, two row pale and munich malt with the pacific northwest's most intriguing hops to create a bright, clean ale ideal for picnicking, evenings on the screen porch and enjoying the whims of the summer breeze.

Bottle from River’s Bend. Poured a hazy yelloe with a moderate frothy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Moderate sour citrus aroma. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Medium sweet citrus flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of short duration. Worth trying once.

Bottle - Light haze golden pour with minimal foam that instantly dissipates. Aroma is light yeast with some citrus hints. Bright is a good description on the flavor with light bready elements, some spice & citrus followed by a light sour finish. Compared to most american wheats, it is very subtle and it’s easy to see why many describe this beer as bland.

had somewhat of a grassy wheat aroma, pale gold colour, nice crisp taste, that struck me very similar to a many pale ales. perhaps a hint of citrus. Not very impressed by this brew.

Pours golden w/ a shallow, spritzy froth. Head retention is minimal but residual lacing is sticky w/ a beachball spattered ring. Aroma is bright meaty citrus. Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers. Malty w/ muted citrus flavors. Orange and tangerine to a slight degree. Theres a mild biscuit essence. Clean, crisp, and very refreshing. The finish is surprisingly long w/ a mild acidic bittering.

Pours a clear golden color with little to no head and no lacing. Aroma is bready/yeasty. Taste is very bready malts with little to no wheat and no distinguishable citrus. Taste is similar to Budweiser. Mouthfeel is fine for the style and it’s relatively drinkable as a lawnmower beer. Unremarkable.

Not much of a wheat beer, very little qualities of one as a matter of fact, slightly dark golden in color, no head, no lacing around the glass, didn’t show much by way of the standard in the nose or in the flavors, small hint of grain in the aroma, but that was it, not much in the flavor as well, semi-sweet with hints of light bread & yeast, really not much flavor to speak of, really disappointing, grainy finish, not much of a wheat beer, not much of any kind of flavorful beer whatsoever

Bottle, Wow this is a wheat beer, I guess this is why there is a slightly cloudy appearance. Not very exciting, a touch of bitterness. But pretty bland. Watery palate with little aroma. Bland Brew, thought it was a Pilsner, without hops. Wow this is less than impressive.

had this with the swmallest portioned order of fish and chips known to man. i like a good "american wheat" whatever that is. i’ve had great summer quenchers that have that light citrus hint, and a clean quenching finish that leave you feeling like you just sucked down a clean glass of wayter after mowiung the yard and screwing against the fence, but with a tinge of alcohol and grain. that is a good beer. this is not. odd yellow pour, white head. nose was lemon pledge. tasted like dust a bad pilsner and well, nothing, thats it, nothing. if you want a nice glass of nothing, well, here you go, have a good one, i miss cumberland brews right now so much.
