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.

Pours an orange copper color with a nice white head that goes down quick. Very light flavor and fair amount of hops. A slight hint of graininess. A good drinin drop of beer

Pours an orange amber color with a soapy white head, which disappears quickly. Fruity, flowery aroma with some hops. Taste was mild for an APA. Could taste the hops, but minimal bitterness. Sweet aftertaste. Medum body.

Bottled. Clear orange colour, small off-white head. Aroma is fruity and hoppy. Flavour is fruity, hoppy and a bit roasted? and grassy. Smooth brew which at the same time is very refreshing. As the desription says, this beer will most likely not offend anyone.

Bottled
Dark semi- hazy orange/copper brown, good off-white head. Flowery hoppy (Cascade?) nose with some ryeish malt notes. Medium-bodied. Starts with some sugary sweetness, then crunchy hops. Aftertaste is more on sweet side than bitter. Easy to drink APA, nothing really outstanding, but drinkable "summer drink".

Better than I expected. Some nice citrusy hop notes and some malt. A fair effort for a pale ale. I’d seen this at the supermarket for the last, probably, 8 years and never bought. I might pick some up some time.

Pours amber with thick white head. Aroma is very hoppy with malt and some citrus notes. Flavor is more of the same - dominating hops, sweet malt and a bit of citrus. Bitter-sweet finish.

Pours an Amber hue with a nice fluffy white head. Nose is quite hoppy for a APA, malts, and subtle lemon notes. Taste has a nice bitter hoppiness to it, and the palate is quite bitter with a slight sweetness to it. I liked this Extra Pale Ale a lot. Undeniably drinkable and a good thirst quencher. Thumbs up on this one!!

Bottle. Pours clear copper with pillowy white head. The aroma is fruity hops, pine, and a vague sweet malt. The flavor is much the same, with an overall tame bitterness, smooth malt sweetness, and pine and earth notes here and there. The finish is a little bit bitter and ashy. Obviously a session beer.
