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.

I may have to try this one again, especially since I had just had DFH 60 and 90 Minute IPAs before it. I noticed some hops, but not to strong. The beer was balanced pretty well, nothing overpowering.

Poured a clear amber orange color with a huge head that laced great. The aroma was somewhat citru-like, couldn’t really pick up on the hops and was worried bottle wasn’t fresh. However, the flavor didn’t disappoint. Full of citrus (some grapefruit) and nice floral and pine hops, very nicely balanced. The malt backbone was strong and enjoyable: caramel-like. Finish was a little dry and pepper-like, complemented the sweet malty backbone and American hops very well. Pretty nice stuff.

Golden color light coppers w/ a full creamy well laced off white head. Palate is average lightly oily decent body but quite dry. Flavor is a piney bitter front fairly 1 dimensional w/ a dry finish. Some light malts show through as it warms. It’s decent but plain.

Nice orange/copper color with a slight hop aroma. Nicely balanced taste with just enough bitterness. Goes down easy and smooth. A nice beer for when you plan on drinking all day or for a hot afternoon thirst quencher, very enjoyable.

Plenty of hops is this ol Summit. One of my buddies that drinks ONLY the EPA, says "bitter people drink bitter beer" Which i have found to be somewhat true. This beer doesnt have nothing on Surly Furious, but sometimes that ones a bit much. Summit EPA is nice and hoppy without being overpowering.
