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.

I really did not know what to expect from this one. Was it a wheat with the usual light semi flowery nose, slightly cloudy, with light spice, or was it to be slightly hoppy on both nose and finish? It was neither. Not a great beer, but pleasant for sumer, just as discribed.

The perfect beer for summertime. The aroma is fruity, while the flavor is smooth and light-bodied. Easy to drink, and even easier to enjoy.

Clear bubbly yellow with a little white head. Smell is doughy and sweet and slightly sour. Flavor is watery lemon and wheat. Highly carbonated and watery.

12oz bottle. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a thin finely-bubbled head. The aroma is very wheaty with a fresh floral touch of hops and bready, malted wheat. The flavor starts very wheaty, bready, and malty with a subtle touch of spice (fresh baked cookies with hints of nutmeg). There is also a light touch of floral hops. The finish is spicy with a crackery malt character and a nice balance of malted wheat and soft noble hops. The mouthfeel is medium in body with a light spritziness. Overall, a very refreshing, flavorful, tasty, well-balanced American wheat beer. I think this is beer is quite underrated - the average score is much lower than I would have expected.

on tap @ papago... pale gold/brownish pour with a thin white head. smells like honey, wheat/grain and orange... nothing else, really. there’s a barely noticeable sweetness on the palate... flavors of honey without the sweet, grain, some soft citrus and a tart dry finish. light to medium body with a bright mouth feel. good for drinking if you don’t want to think about it.

pours clear straw color, with absolutely no head. aroma is almost skunky, fairly unappealing. flavor is mildly citric, but that same skunk flavor comes through. bleh...

12oz bottle. Pours, clear, filtered, golden yellow color with a foamy white head. Aroma is a heavenly citrus hop floating over a sweet malt aroma. Flavor a citrus tart flavor with some malt, then followed by a crisp hop bitterness. A very impressive summer time beer. Super refreshing, light bodied, and as exciting flavorwise as Spain’s win over Italy (4-2 on PKs). Cheers.
