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.

Sample from tap at the brewery. Pours orange with lacing white head. Aroma is slight sweet fruity and caramel sweet. Flavour is floral, strong bitter and still sweet. Has a nice bitter finish.

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.

Clear copper body with medium beige head. The aroma is floral, the taste is floral and has a nice rounded bitterness. Medium body. I can't recall having a beer so singularly floral, but the way Summit does it is a good thing.

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".
