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.

Hard pour results in a dark, but clear, copper color with a respectable head. Aroma is light and floral. Flavor is also light, with early balance and a hoppy finish. Mouth is smooth and creamy, but finishes dry. Overall a fairly well balanced, albeit uninteresting beer. If it didn’t finish so dry, I’d sign up for a session. As it is, I’ll probably pass.

Bottle. Pours goldish orange. Smells grassy and citrusy. Tastes citrusy, sweet, some grainy malts. Light bodied and easy on the palate. Not too bad.

Bottle. Clear amber-brown with a thin head. Nose is caramel malt and light spicy hops. Very clean with a good sweetness and mild hop character. Drinkable with a nice dry palate. Nothing spectacular but solid.

Bottle. Poured a clear amber color with a thin white head. Aroma of spice and floral hops. Flavor was malty with a slight hop bitter finish. Good beer.

Bottle from Uncle Sudsy’s. Sweet caramel malt and some grassy floral hops. Light bitter astringent nose with a bit of metallic tang. Clear amber-orange with thin off-white lacing head. Medium watery body with medium-heavy carbonation. Starts quite bitter with dull grassy hops and mild caramel malt. Light caramel sweetness. Bitter finish and after, not quite harsh but not as smooth as others. Light metallic and bitter astringency, though it doesn’t last or coat the tongue.

2008 Bottle. A good standard EPA. Smells of floral hops. Tastes strongly of hops, not much more...maybe a little wheat. Light bitter aftertaste. It’s just a simple, straightforward EPA. Not much special or not much bad here either.
