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.

Draft at redlight redlight. This is a decent pale ale. It goes down smooth and is refreshing, but it is definitely nothing special. Do not snort it up your nose as I accidentally did while I was smelling it.

draft @ redlight redlight. Honey malts and piney hops on the nose. Pours a pale golden color with solid white head. Hoppy flavors, piney with hints of citrus, very balanced, not over the top. I feel like this is a great brewpub pale ale, but for distro, up against others, its a little weak. Not bad though.

From a bottle. Taste was somewhat malty. Seemed more like a lager than an APA. Slightly bitter. A decent session beer but I did not find it to be hoppy at all.

Clear and fairly tasty APA. Nothing inspiring, however. Very session like in taste and quality.

Bottle. Pours a golden body with a white head. Floral fruity, grassy hop character, balanced with plenty of caramel malt. Some citrus and bread y notes. Eh nothing special.

Not a lot of aroma, looks okay. This is decent. A light bitter hop flavor, a good finish, overall a decent beer.

A mediocre pale ale. Bronze in color with a moderate head. Somewhat bitter but not in the good way. This will certainly do if I’m looking IPA and it’s what’s available, but this is about as basic as an IPA can be.
