Summit India Pale Ale

Brewed by Summit Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
St. Paul, Minnesota USA

Pours a clear golden color with white lacing. Aroma is hops and grains. Flavor is citrus lemon mixed with hops. Grainy notes. This is one of the beers from this brewery about which I am not too excited.

scent is mild with a little bit of hops. taste is of hops, but is mild. not a bad ipa, but certainly more on the average/above average side of the spectrum. nothing too special about this beer.

Clear, dark golden color nothing special but no distraction. Thin hop and fruit aroma promises a refreshing taste. Taste has more bite and bitter than aroma. Nice choice for a always on hand beer.

Poured a pale copper color with very little foam. Aroma is weak for an IPA, slight hop scent and thats it. Taste is bitter up front and finish is ok with some metallic taste. Had alot better IPA’s and would not buy again.

Pours deep amber orange color with a white head. Aroma is caramel, toast, biscuit, some aged malts, and some hops. Flavor is malty, astringent, and a bitter astringent hop finish.

Clear amber, thin head. Caramel malt and citrus hop aroma. Very astringent and bitter with poor and lacking hop flavor. Watery. Not a good IPA.

Pours a dark golden color with thin off-white head. Aroma is quite bready with some hops. Flavor is caramel, light citrus and pine, grapefruit, and earthy tones with a hoppy characteristic which is much more mild than other IPAs. This was my first India Pale Ale and is not a bad transition beer but is very mediocre for its style.

Pours a clear deep golden color with a little white head. Spotty lacing. Aroma has citrus notes, piney hops, and light caramel. Tastes of the piney hops, citrus notes, and the light sweetness of caramel malts. No lingering aftertaste.
