Commercial Description:
Summit Grand is the first pilsener brewed by Summit Brewing Company. Developed by our Brewmaster Horace Cunningham, Summit Grand follows the tradition of Bohemian Style Pilseners. This style refers to the many great pilseners that originated in what is now known as the Czech Republic. Our Summit Grand is brewed with select malts and both domestic and imported hops. Golden in color, with just the right amount of body, Summit Grand is truly the perfect beer for any occasion.

A pleasant and easy drinking BP. Aroma was a decent. Could pick up some malt in it but mostly a generic description of beer. Pour was a cloudy gold with no head. Taste was wet and slightly carbonated. A little hoppiness but mostly thick biscuity malt. Watery finish.

On tap at the brewery. Now being rebranded simply as Summit Pilsner and I thought it was a pretty respectable one, more in a Czech style than German. Mid gold in colour with a good balance of biscuity malt and grassy hop. Clean mouthfeel, with a touch of residual sweetness. Not too light but remains eminently quaffable by avoiding the heavy bready malt character that can creep into Bohemian pilsners, so reatins a very clean mouthfeel. Not usually a style that I gravitate towards and could perhaps use a little more bitterness but undoubtedly a decent drinking pint.

I like this beer in the summer. It is a very smooth pils, that refreshes on a summer day. Easy drinking sessions wanted.

Sample from tap at the brewery. Pours golden yellow with a white head. Mild Aroma of soft malt. Flavour is sweet malty, has a soft fruitiness going into a nice bitter finish. Good pilsener.

Medium golden with a small white head. Decent carbonation on initial pour. Aroma and flavor is a basic corn, light malt, wheat, hops and grains. Nothing special about it but overall it is still a nice all around drinker. I would have another.

Clear golden body with no head. Disappointing old dry honey smell. Watery body with malt and faint honey. Disappointing for a lighter summit product, which I usually enjoy.

Picked up a bottle from Cellars LexLarp, St Paul. (Man, do they have a lot of singles!) Pours a clear golden lager yellow with a sustaining head that has a good lacing. Aromas of honey, enriched white bread, saltine crackers and some floral hops. Taste has some barley malt with some honey. A bitter finish and then smooth. A nice pilsner though a little darker than most.

A nice drinking beer. It is crisp with some fruit and citrus. There is nothing to not like here but there really isn’t a lot going on, either. That is the only negative. This is a pleasant beer that is easy to drink in quantity.
