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 must not be a hoppy kind of guy. This beer gives me a headache after just one. I want to like it, I just can’t. I have friends who swear by this stuff but I steer clear. Too much hops for me. I did have an associate from London tell me that it wasn’t bitter enough and needed more hops. I guess tastes vary. (freekin wierdo)

On tap at Trinity Hall. Pours a glowing orange color with a small creamy head. Nose is intense citrus and floral that is very fresh and sweet. Taste is smooth, medium bodied and packs a moderate bitter punch with a nice amount of dryness. Solid beer that is even better from the tap.

OBF 2008. Pours gold with a smooth white head. Citrus hops up front in the nose, crisp and medium dry finish. Body was a bit thin, but this still wasn’t a bad, nice balance to it, good hopped up pale.

Pours a nice golden color with very thin head. Distinct, bitter taste of hops, but quite drinkable. A pretty good pale ale.

Typical APA regardless of "Extra" being thrown into the name. Very light in hops for a pale, and ends little watery. Overall I would give this an OK rating.
