Feb 1, 2009 I drank three of my brothers Summit EPA’s last night, in my rating system "free beer" gets a half point increase. But then we ran out of beer and only had $6.50 so we had to buy Coors light, the Coors sucked! In conclusion Summit EPA is better than Coors light.

Jan 31, 2009 Summit Extra Pale Ale has a small light yellow head and clear "field of wheat" color. Not much aroma, but what I get is pleasantly hoppy. Flavor is similar, with a bitter finish. The carbonation lingers on the tongue like the guy who doesn’t take the hint that the party’s over when you’ve taken out your contacts and put on your pajamas. Not my cup of ale, but some may find it good.

Jan 31, 2009 TAP: Orange/gold pour with aroma of citrus and hops. Hops are pretty well-balanced on taste, with some citrus and malt. Solid beer.

Jan 30, 2009 In Minnesota this is the beer that’s on tap everywhere. So when you’re at a place that only has Bud, Miller Lite etc on tap for other options, a Summit is a no-brainer. So I’ve had countless pints. Comfort ale.
Rich clear amber pour, with off-white head. Nice balanced of hoppy/fruity aromas and taste. Slightly meaty bodied, satisfying. In every way it is good to excellent, solid brew, if not a world champion.

Jan 22, 2009 In short: A somewhat dry and very drinkable basic pale ale. Good session beer.
How: Bottle 12oz. Sent my way by MatSciGuy. Thanks Levi. Drank fresh a few days after receiving it.
The look: Clear dark golden body topped by a very small off-white head
In long: Leafy hops on the nose, very leafy with light notes of citrus. Taste is a little sweet and crisp. Crunchy honey/caramel. Good amount of leafy hops provide bitterness and dryness. Rather well balanced. The leafy hopping have an English character, tastes like an English Pale Ale. It is a Summit Pale Ale but not a pinnacle of Pale Ales.

Jan 20, 2009 12 ounce bottle courtesy of Skyview. Thanks! Pours a bronze color with a medium frothy head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel malts and faint bitter hops. Taste is an odd earthy, bean like hop note. Some citrus as well. Medium bodied.

Jan 15, 2009 This isn’t bad. It’s not that great either. Pours amber with off-white head. Flavor is bread, malt and finishes on a bitter note from the hops. Falls under the "Decent Pale Ale" category. As it warms I can taste notes of corn in there. Kind of a buzzkill.
