Review
Appearance: Very clear and transparent light yellow body. Clear white head about the width of a finger. The head leaves a slight lacing on the glass that recedes rather quickly. The head is full of smaller bubbles with a constant flow of smaller bubbles flowing from the bottom of the glass towards the top.
Smell: Classic pilsner scent with an floral aroma with a hint of hops. The scent is rather faint yet, there's a subtle sweetness.
Taste: Amazingly light! The flavor is nearly identical to the scent but dragged out into two segments. Summerfest is clear and smooth with a taste of malt and floral hops with a hint of honey. The taste lingers on the back of your tongue creating a lasting taste on your pallet following consumption.
Mouthful: Light and crisp with light to medium carbonation making summerfest easy to down.
Overall: Summerfest is a typical pilsner with a Sierra Nevada twist. This beer is definitely the lightest of Sierra Nevada's portfolio. A very fitting name, perfect for a warm summer day. RRRefreshing!! Easy to drink but lacks character. Can't take much from this beer other than getting a nice buzz going, however; I do enjoy this beer and it's light yet complex flavors.
Rating: 7/10
