Dec 3, 2008 Big ass nutty, smoked pistachio aroma. The flavor was less stellar, with a weak roasted nutty malt flavor and a mild twang to finish. Clear copper/red color with a fleeting head. Medium body.

Nov 29, 2008 Medium-dark amber in color. This had a very hoppy aroma. Nice hoppy bitter aftertaste. I thought this was a very good ESB. I definitely need to try more Summit brews.

Nov 28, 2008 This pours a beautiful clear copper. Thin white head disappears almost immediately. Aroma is all malt, a little bit of fruit. The flavor is a soft malty sweetness. It’s quite drinkable but could use a bit more hop bite to balance the malt in my book.
