Summerfest is golden bright, balancing delicate yet complex malt alongside spicy, floral hops. Hints of lemon zest lead into a dry finish, and the sessionable 5% ABV invites another round on those endless summer days.

Copenhagen 5/82023. 35,5 cl can from Meny, Borups Allé, Frb. F. Dark blue can in Sierra Nevada's usual design with green meadows and a peaceful vale.
Pours clear yellow with a mid-sized white head. A bit bubbly. Settles as thin puddles of foam floating about. No lacing.
Aroma is medium intensewith a distinct sweet and malty odor mingling with chemical scent and a little citrus fruit. Sweet pale malts, glue and lemon.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is medium intense with arathoerstrong sweetness followed by a medium strong bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a sweet undertone. Lingers for a bit. Finish is semi-dry.
Rather unremarkable, sweetish Lager.

This beer pours a golden opaque color with a medium white head. The aroma is hop forward with malt and tropical fruit to follow. Taste is light and mild citrus with a zest that lasts into the finish and beyond. A little different than most light summer lagers. BOD 6-5-2023

Poured from a can into a pint glass. Pours orange yellow with a fluffy white head. Smells of sweet grain, nice and fruity. Tastes of fruity grain, nice and fresh. Beer is light and refreshing, very crisp. Overall, a very good beer.

It’s summer and it’s Sierra Nevada so I had to pick up a 12 pack of Summerfest cans. Great packaging and a nice brew. Has a Pilsner feel and light malt flavor. Peppery but not bitter. Nice one to have on a hot day.
