Large rocky white head with hazy yellow appearance. Aroma of lemon and yeast with a flavor to match. Crisp and refreshing. Nice body with a clean finish. This is better than I thought it would be.

Had on tap at the Red Brick Tavern in the Atlanta Airport. Pours an extremely cloudy orangeish-yellow with a frothy thick white head that leaves decent lacing. Requisite, sweet bubblegum aroma with a touch of banana. Flavor has the same bubblegum and banana thing going on with a bit of underlying coriander. Nothing really complex, but deent none the less - one of the best I have had from this brewer. Mouthfeel is pleasantly thick but fades just a tad near the end. Good refresher after traveling and fighting through the airport.

This is not bad as much as I hate to admit that, as I really do not like the majority of ABC’s beers. This was a nice tangy summer outing. Lots of fresh fruit, balanced acidity, some spicy corriander and orange peel flavors as well. Very clean tasting.

Holy lord what have I stumbled across. A yellowish orange appearance with some sweaty sock and lemon aroma. The flavor is very odd and sour with some hay, lemons, and whatever funk that was left in the vats from the previous brew. A yeasty and slimy presence exist. The bottle recommends mixing it with 4oz of pineapple or grapefruit juice?? I can see why you would want to. Screw this stuff.

THere is nothing all that great and all that bad about this beer. It is fairly light bodied and has a bit of funk in it, possibly due to the extreme old age of the bottles i found. I would have it again for the 4 dolla i payed for the sixer.

I’m assuming this is the correct one. This bottle has definitely got some age on it, and the label is "Summer Brew - Unfiltered Wheat Ale". Pours a milky yellow with ridiculously massive billowing white head, at least 8 inches of head. Nose of banana, bubblegum, and lemon. But pretty weak all around. Flavor definitely has a graininess and metallic tinny finish. Pretty average actually.

this was not very good for a summer brew. kinda freaked me out that the label had instructions to make mimosas. weird...... mostly grainy, grassy, outdoorsy flavors and aromas. hints of lemon. not too much flavor and no palate. weird brew... and btw, anyone know if this is retired?? the 6er we got looked like it was 100 years old and i noticed there were 3 ratings from 2004 and then not since 2001
