A festival of Summer

And we're back. This time on the review, I'll be looking at a beer a bit more in keeping with the time of year. Summerfest, from Sierra Nevada Brewing is a nice crisp lager, perfect for warm summer nights, 4th of July BBQs, and just about anything. Upon opening the bottle, the drinker is greeted with a very mild and pleasant smell. The beer pours nicely, leaving a thick head on the top that fades quickly at first then slows, leaving a decent bit of foam as it comes to rest.

Tasting about as mild as it looks, Summerfest nonetheless has a nice finish that you'd come to expect from a high quality lager. Very refreshing, but a bit on the bland side. Of course, my opinion might be a bit biased by the knowledge of Sierra Nevada's tendency to utilize plenty of hops in their brews. Overall it's not bad, and the finish alone makes up for any other deficiencies. And of course, it is worth remembering that a Lager, particularly one brewed for the summertime is going to be quite a bit lighter. I'd recommend this beer with no reservations, providing you'll be enjoying it under the hot summer sun. I would grab some soon however, as it is only available as a seasonal offering. Happy Drinking!
