Sierra Nevada Summerfest

20180630:
I bought several beers from Whole Foods Market and they are all local beers (Northern California: Chico, Fort Bragg, Paso Robles, Sonoma County, San Francisco, and San Carlos). Out of the six, I decided to first have the Summerfest.

By the sip:
0. My nasal congestion is a 1 on a scale of 0 to 8. The beer had a wheat smell.
1. It was refreshing and crisp.
2. I like it so far. 9:04 PM PT
?. I'm feeling sleepy, but my nasal congestion seems to be the same. My sleepiness could just be from working out, I felt sleepy since midnight. Finishing the beer, it was warm and no longer carbonated. It had a mellow flavor to it. 20180701 12:30 AM PT
