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.

Very hoppy with a unique, slightly nutty, bitter aftertaste. This is the way a Pale Ale should taste. Most Pales tone down the hops to broaden their appeal. Summit EPA pushes the hops and stands out as a great regional brew for ale lovers.

Just found a supplier in metro Detroit (Grosse Point Woods) and am thrilled to see this beer make its way further east.

This beer has it all.Good appearrance nice amber color to copper color.A nice head on it finger width or so good head.The hops are a near perfect mix smooth but yet hoppy enough to make you take notice.The beer sticks to glass all the way to the end. It has a real nice flavor .They hit this beer square on for my taste buds.My new favorite by far.The only beer that is a real close second is seirra nevada's pale ale or possibly te ton ale out of jacksonhole wyoming.This beer goes good by itself and even better with food.I love it with steak,and pizza alike.I toured this brewery and I was not disappointed when I got it fresh from the tap either.A tad better on tap but I prefer all beer on tap.A must try this beer Rocks!I have read other reviews on this beer .I really think some people are missing it.This beer is a winner and Summit's best going away.

A great, great Pale Ale. It’s sweeter than most Pale Ales, but that sweetness is combined with a very full body and just the right amount of carbonation.

perfect minnesota beer. never boring, great poured or in the bottle, best out of a good fresh tap, a great example of what a small commercial beer can be.

Good beer, bottle at a restaurant with a walleye meal. Aroma of hops, pine and citrus. Golden bronze in color with no head. Flavors of pine, citrus and a small amount of hops. Smooth with a slightly dry finish. A refreshing beer. So I had this on tap and it is sooooo much better on tap. Awesome hoppy aroma and flavor, nice white fluffy head, and good bitterness.
