May 30, 2004 There is a little inside joke in the name of this beer, it seems. Summit is the name of the most prestigious street in Minnesota (Summit Ave.) where the Governor’s mansion and other large houses are located (F. Scott Fitzgerald lived a time here). Grand Ave. runs parallel one block away. So Summit Grand speaks to the two streets. The beer gives every impression of being of serious quality, as well, in a category that often attracts cheap imposters. Caramelly, block-like grassy aroma. Simple yellow color, thin head. Moderate and soft carbonation. German hop flavor with mid-level astringency, bready flavor. Decent beer.

May 29, 2004 In the bottle. Pours standard yellow, but with disturbingly large bubbles. Was this force carbonated with CO3? Ha, ha, a little chemist joke there. Head leaves us on time. Maybe it’s early. Definitely lacks a nose. The hops are good and strong. Bitterness leaps forward and clings to your tongue throughout the beer. Tangy. This could use a little more balance with some more malt body. All things considered, I think that New Ulm has won the Minnesota War of Pilsners. Check out Schell’s instead. Or stick to the exquisite Summit Hefe.

May 12, 2004 This pilsner pured a somewhat unfiltered golden amber color with a nice fizzy white head.
The aroma was a nice combination of citrusy hops and a touch of flowers.
The mouthfeel was very nice... Light and flavorful...on the malty side; a beer that I can pretty much drink all night.

Mar 31, 2004 Clear light amber with a huge frothy white head. Nice floral, somewhat earthy aroma of citrus, toasted bread, and honey. Medium light watery palate with a moderate amount of carbonation. Refreshing. Nice flavor that starts sweet with honey, citrus and bread. Finishes slightly bitter with a nice earthiness and light pine notes. Slightly metallic. A good everyday beer.

Mar 10, 2004 Light golden colour. Very nice fruity (lemon) and grainy aroma. Flavour is nice too but the finish doesn't quite meet the promising expectations. Not exactly a "classic" Bohemian Pilsener (probably due to the domestic hops), but nonetheless a very decent beer.

Jan 27, 2004 Wasn't sure what to ecpect from this one. Pleasantly surprised though. Good Czech style hops on the nose. A bit heavier that I would have prefered but it turns out to be quite nice...

Jan 25, 2004 This was a great pilsner.It had a nice smooth taste that was sweet. Touches of honey that sat nicely in the palate. If your a big pilsner fan. This might be your beer.
