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.

12 oz in pint glass. Pours a cloud, very pale yellow. Terrible metallic aroma, no hops, malt or wheat in the nose at all. Flavor is almost non-existent...some wheat and a bit of spice, but otherwise weak. Palate is okay, light-medium body albeit a bit watery. Finishes slightly dry. Would probably be a more palatable beer if they could fix the aroma.

Hazy golden, smooth, little sweet, but almost nothing there, very bland and vacant of anything interesting.

Bonus from Irishboy, pours hazy golden with thin white head. Nose is almost non existent, flavor quite bland. Not bad, but really not much to it.

12 oz bottle from SuperMarket Liquors, Cheyenne, WY! Nose of wheat, light fruity esters, light flowery hops, and a very faint clovey hint; very lightly hazy gold with a medium white head; flavor is light hop bitterness, faint pears, light grainy wheat, and mild sweetness.

Bottle thanks to IrishBoy. Pours a clear and light orange color with a small white head. A nice aroma of honey drenched wheat and some citrus. A full and creamy mouthfeel. The flavor consists of a ton of wheat, some spices, citrus and honey. Very easy to drink and decent. Not bad at all.
