I drank this from a glass mug...

The beer is pale golden and crystal clear with a soapy white head. It smells of lemony/ grassy hops with grains and salt. It tastes bitter with the same lemon and grassy hops a smotth pilsner malt flavor washes over and there is a bitter finish. The beer is light and crisp with lots of carbonation and a dry finish. Excellent summer beer, excellent pilsner all around.

One of my first reviews.

Served from a bottle poured into a pilsner glass.

Overall a very pleasurable experience. Two finger head with a clear body. The beer was, however, a little darker than I expected for a lager. In the typical style of Sierra Nevada, the beer had a definitive strong note of hops, but unlike other years the citrus note was absent in the 2013 summerfest. The beer had a very smooth finish, and like most other lagers the flavor did not hang around for long.

I was not disappointed, but I would be interested to try it on tap.
