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.

Sparkling apple juice body topped by small white head. Aroma is doughy, mild grassy. Taste is medium sweet, wheat, bready, lemon, with lemon and a hint of grassy in the aftertaste. Light body, some tart crispness. Easy to drink. An adequate summery beer.

12 oz bottle-pours a white head and yellow color. Aroma is faint, sweet grain. Taste is sweet grain, honey? Mild flat hops. OK carbonation.

Lightly hazy, straw-colored ale with a very small, fizzy, white head. The nose is grassy and doughy. Lemony and earthy. A whisper of green apple. The flavor is very well-balanced, but just a hint on the sweet side... if I were to get nitpicky. Very light-bodied with a fizzy mouthfeel. Short, crisp finish. Refreshing on a hot, humid day, I would imagine. Lawnmower beer. Thanks to my client, Scott Jackson, for the bottle.

Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells toasty and earthy. Tastes of citrus, some light earthy hints. No real wheat presence in this one. Bland.

Clear yellow body and a still head. Weak carbonation, slightly sweet wheat and malt syrup flavor. Has a definite cheap house character, like cheap extract homebrew, but it does redeem itself somewhat with a sweet lemongrass flavor in the finish. Not the ideal summer beer, but it works.

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 color with a quickly vanishing head of white bubbles. Hints of a wheat field next to an mowed alfalfa field. Faint rubber underneath. Wheat and corn flavors come together to create the taste of a light malt liquor. I say this as the alcohol does seem to be evident and only lightly hidden by a touch of lemongrass.

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.
