Summit India Pale Ale

Poured from bottle into tall glass. Very clear burnished amber, with off-white head and slight lacing. Very fruity, with some bread dough, caramel and light English hops. Some caramel, toast and fruit, but strong spicy bitterness comes through especially at the finish. However, there is not much actual hop taste to back up the bitterness. Moderately high carbonation, medium body, very dry finish. Overall, A little too much bitterness in comparison to the flavor profile. But still a good example of an English IPA.

Draft: Pours a dark orange with a large beige head. Nice sheet lacing. Aroma is hoppy, although rather modest in intensity. Florals, citrus, and faintly sweet. Flavor is much more crisp with hops than the aroma would suggest. Florals and grapefruit, some caramel sweetness before a resiny/floral finish. Not bad, but not really anything special.

Bottle courtesy of Fratto. Hazy yellow orange. Slightly musty smell with some hops. Dry taste with some amounts of hop sweetness. Plain.
