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.

Pours light clear yellow with a small white head. Smells sweet and strawlike. Light to medium mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Taste seems off - sour wheat with hints of citrus. The finish is bad - sour and medicinal mixed with artificial sweetener. Not very good in my opinion.

Extraordinarily light, water-down wheat. So little typical wheat characteristics, it might not be picked as such in a blind taste test. Light cereal graininess, light sweet maltiness, light hop hints. Little to recommend itself.

Pale gold of body with a creamy white head, this has the Wheaties aroma typical of many American wheats. The taste is something better, lightly sweet, almost like a English Golden... until the Wheaties flavor kicks in. Finishes on a light, honey sweet note. I probably would appreciate this more six months from now.

Straw yellow crystal clear liquid. Wuickly vanishing white foam. Faint nose of hops. Light flavor mildly grassy and maybe a little wheaty. Very thin and liquidly texture. Very light beer.

Meh. This has an artificial feel to it. Gold, lots of bubbles rising up to a very small but lasting head. There are several flavors but none stand out as being very good. There is light wheat, honey, and lemon. Heavily carbonated and sweet. Tastes like something from Hopback.

Bottle at Dr. Kevin’s house, Colorado Springs, during the A&M/Baylor game. Pours a hazy gold with decent carbonation. Aroma is tangy grapefruit with hints of orange. Flavor has a subtle lemon presence as well as coriander and orange. Palate is a bit on the watery side, but it coats. Very refreshing and light. Awesome summer brew!

Gold, ginger ale body. Lots of bubbles, small white head. Light crispy aroma, fresh hops and yeast rolls. Taste is nice for a summer with powerful palate. Nicely balanced sweet malt, citrus fruits, grapes and piney hops. Nice smooth aftertaste. Like a light APA, swell!

Pours hazy yellow with a very thin white head. Nose is lemony and wheat flavors. Very, very clean lemon-lime and wheat flavor, very refreshing. Medium mouthfeel that leaves a little wheat flavor in your mouth. Great session beer.
