Summit Extra Special Bitter

Brewed by Summit Brewing Company
Style: Premium Bitter/ESB
St. Paul, Minnesota USA

Pour is a dark red with a soapy white head. Aroma is a nice helping of dark fruit and caramel malts. Flavor is again some weaker dark fruit with some brown sugar and a bit of molasses. A tasty ESB especially from this brewer which i was not expecting much from.

Pours a deep amber with a tan head. Some lacing. Aroma is mildly sweet and pleasantly yeasty. Flavor comes on with a nice amount of malt, glides cleanly over the tongue and leaves a crisp bitter aftertaste. This is a beer to have on a hot summer day after mowing the lawn.

12oz bottle. Bready malt initially on the nose. Brown sugar, a decent amount of spicy hops and a touch of cinnamon on the nose. Pours a full amber with a decent lasting off white head. Dry bread crust with a good amount of balancing hops on the palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. One of Summit’s better efforts.

Draft at Which Brew. Orange golden body with nice head. Aroma is light fruit with an odd soapy vegetable scent. Flavor is sweet malt, light bitter fruit and faint citrus lemon and light vegatable.

Pours a deep golden with small white head. Aroma is slightly bitter with light hop character. Taste has medium malt with stronger bitterness, light hops, and bitter finish. Smooth brew and quite regfreshing. Not a bad brew to have as a regular.

Pours an amber red with very little head. Flavor is bitter hops and lemon undertones...the lemon adds a bitterness not a sweet citrus. Body is light with a fair amount of carbonation.

Tap - Groveland Tap. Semi-hazy red color. Minimal head. Medium bodied. Soft malt flavor, with a clean hop finish. A very respectable session beer and a decent ESB.

pours a nice amber color with very little head. scent of burnt roast and barley with some fruit. taste is of a burntness right away and then gives way to a carmel and fruit taste. a decent bitter, but not one i would purchase again.
