I had this on-draught at Golden Road in July. It was just called "Summer Pale"; not "Summer Pale Ale." 5.7% ABV confirmed. Served into a Golden Road pint glass. Reviewed from notes. Expectations were average.
A: Pours a one finger wide head of beige colour. Nice thickness, decent creaminess, okay (~2 minute) retention. Body colour is a fairly vibrant copper. Translucent, transparent. No yeast particles are visible. No bubble show.
Sm: Quite hop forward: floral, nectary, and some pine character. Pale malts. Clean and appealing, with nice grapefruit citrus. Tangerine and mango notes are present, but luckily it doesn't feel too tropical. Mild and pleasant. Quite hoppy for a pale ale. Looking forward to trying it. No yeast character or alcohol is detectable.
T: Nicely hoppy, with a pleasant grapefruit zest note. Pale malts. A hint of caramalt. Light citrus fruit: tangerine, mango, and maybe clementine. Really well balanced. A bit oily and nectary. Nice complexity for what it is. Decent subtlety. No yeast character or alcohol comes through.
Mf: Crisp, clean, and pleasant. Lightly oily. Nice zestiness. Smooth and wet. Suits the flavour profile nicely; I'd even say it seems the brewers custom-tailored the texture to the taste to a degree. Biting, with aggressive carbonation.
Dr: Surprisingly drinkable and enjoyable for a Golden Road beer. I quite like this one, actually. A good hoppy pale ale that still has a good degree of balance. I'd get this one again. A nice beer on-draught, if an overpriced one.

On tap @ the source.
A: Pours a clear orange with a 1-inch white head which leaves spotty lace.
N: Huge juicy grapefruit. Makes my mouth water.
T: Floral and juicy citrus hops with a sweetish malt for balance and trace wheat.
M: Semi-moderate body and carbonation. Semi-dry and bitter finish.
O: Clean and hoppy APA. Pleasantly surprized.
