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.

Found this beer in the hotel bar in Aberdeen, SD. Enjoyed a few pints watching game 1 of the 2007 World Series (Red Sox beat Rockies 13-1). I liked it, and would recommend it. Copper in color with clarity. Malty enough, not too filling. Lots of hop flavor.

Equally good out of a bottle or on tap. Unique taste, that goes down smooth. Nice malty flavor, with a little bitterness on the way down.

Draft, Northern Lights at MSP airport. Copper with a beautiful 3/4 inch creamy and lasting head. Aroma is spicy-sweet floral hops. Taste is slightly tilted to the spicy-sweet hops, but carries a nice undercurrent of earthy, roasted nut and caramel. Nice bitter finish. Palate is light-medium, tingly and dryish. Great session ale.

From my neighbor who just got back from Minni- thanks! Poured dark amber/golden, good head formation. Aroma consisting of hops and lightly of malt, nice. Hits the mouth with medium body, had an odd salty/ hoppy finish. Maybe I just got a bad batch...nothing to write home about

Not too shabby. Nice malt flavor, biscuits. Something is a little off about the hops though, otherwise I would really like it. The bitterness is just a bit strange to me. Almost reminds me of clove or corriander or something. In any case, the body is surprisingly creamy and has a very nice texture. Not bad.

Thanks Jesse! Pours a full, semi creamy froth w/ an amber color. Good hangtime w/ spattered and sticky residual lacework. Aroma is fresh w/ grapefruit. Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers creating a soft as cotton texture. Malty w/ a mild citrus hop is all I can say. The finish is bittered mildly and is slightly crisp.

Draft - Minneappolis, MN. If I had know that the brewery was around the corner, I would have went on the tour. This was a pleasant surprise at a work related dinner. Great Pale with a smooth finish.

Draft sample. Amber in colour with moderate carbonation. Muted malt aromas with notes of caramel and white grapefruit. More caramel and light grapefruit in the mouth. I got a bit of a salt note as well. A bit watery, but quite drinkable... sort of like a dialed down Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Simple, but enjoyable.
