Commercial Description:
Summit Extra Pale Ale is not a beer brewed only for beer snobs. Just the opposite. It’s a beer for everyone to enjoy: construction workers, stock brokers, farmers, sales people, clerks, teachers, lawyers, doctors, even other brewers. Its light bronze color and distinctly hoppy flavor have made it a favorite in St. Paul, Minneapolis and the rest of the Upper Midwest ever since we first brewed it back in 1986.

This is a hometown beer for me so it is usually fresh and I generally drink it on tap if nothing more interesting is available. Aroma and appearance are standard for the style with a thin head and modest citrus on the nose. You can taste the hops but there is no overwhelming bitterness. Really a rather tasty and refreshing brew.

On tap at Trinity Hall. Pours a glowing orange color with a small creamy head. Nose is intense citrus and floral that is very fresh and sweet. Taste is smooth, medium bodied and packs a moderate bitter punch with a nice amount of dryness. Solid beer that is even better from the tap.

OBF 2008. Pours gold with a smooth white head. Citrus hops up front in the nose, crisp and medium dry finish. Body was a bit thin, but this still wasn’t a bad, nice balance to it, good hopped up pale.

Pours a nice golden color with very thin head. Distinct, bitter taste of hops, but quite drinkable. A pretty good pale ale.

Typical APA regardless of "Extra" being thrown into the name. Very light in hops for a pale, and ends little watery. Overall I would give this an OK rating.

Poured a golden orange color. Aroma was quite hoppy, but almost kind of skunky. Tasted hoppy and bitter. Decent overall beer, typical pale ale.
