Aug 4, 2004 On tap at Grandma’s in Virginia, Minnesota. Medium gold appearance, little white head. Buttery and fresh lake water aroma. Smooth clean taste, kind of buttery; yet very crisp, slight hops in the back end. Very full bodied mouthfeel for a lager.

Aug 4, 2004 A clear, sparkling light yellow-gold beer. Thin white head, that left too soon. Nice soft malt and hops. Straw and citrus. Excellent balance. Maybe too balanced for style (very slightly lean on hop character), but very good nonetheless. An excellent effort to show the lager-heads across the Mississippi a thing or two

Jul 30, 2004 Nice gentle malty aroma with a soft touch of hops. Delicate, but interesting aroma. Color is pale gold, carbonation is medium with a decent fluffy white head. Nicely flavored beer. Light and refreshing. Good malt profile up front. A slightly spicy hop note in the finish. It’s clean and smooth. Bigger malt and hops than any macro, but light enough to drink on hot summer days quite easily.

Jul 17, 2004 Updated: Jul 4, 2008This is a decent pilener. Beats the hell out of most macro lagers. Has a light gold color with very little head. Aroma is muted with some grass and a touch of hops. The flavor is relatively light. Has a little bit of orange and some flour. A surprisingly full mouthfeel. Not at all bad.

Jul 11, 2004 The least appealing of Summit’s line. Nothing distinctive here. Not offensive, just bland. Poor representative of the style. I’ve tried it several times, on tap and in bottles. It never has improved. They should stick to ales.

Jul 9, 2004 Golden with no head. Nothing special, just bland with some bitterness. Isn’t bad, but has nothing to really set it apart.

Jul 2, 2004 12 oz bottle, at The Fireside in Chicago. Light apricot aroma, more malty and sweet than grassy/hoppy. Light color, light flavor, pretty bland all around, what can I tell you?

Jun 12, 2004 Golden Coloring. Hops. Bitter Taste that seems to be the Summit trademark. Not a terrible beer to drink in quantity
