Smuttynose Summer Weizen

I enjoyed a smuttynose ale at BWW the other day, so when I saw this at my local package store, I thought I'd give it a try.
The bottle says "Ale brewed with chamomile flowers"; the box says offbeat take on German wheat beer with the fruity esters of a Belgian brewers yeast.
I'm not sure what chamomile flowers taste like, nor am I sure I want my beer to taste like it. Fortunately it didn't taste bad at all. Not a bad ale, but I'm not sure what makes it a summer besides the picture of the lady in a swimsuit on the bottle. Smuttynose recommends this beer for "sultry summer weather", maybe it wasn't hot enough this weekend for it too stand out. I'll save a bottle for the next HHH day.
