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.

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.

Bottle… Pours clear and yellow with a mid-sized, fluffy, white head. Great retention. The bouquet is of white pepper and pale malts. Medium-bodied with a lightly oily mouthfeel and middle-of-the-road carbonation. Minerally bitterness with a touch of honey and a dash of pale grain sweetness. Crisp, bittersweet finish. Kudos to otakuden for providing this bottle of beer!

Pours a clear pale golden with a thin, lightly-lacing white head. Has a very mild, lightly noble hoppy aroma with a touch of citrus. Body starts with a hint of sweetness, turning more bland and bitter toward the dry finish. Not much going on here, but still shows some subtle pilsner flavors.

12 oz bottle-pours a white head and yellow color. Aroma is grain, Euroskunk, musty, lime/spice hops. Taste is grain, musty/cardboard, spice/herbal hops. Lots of carbonation in the back of the throat. As it warms, some sweetness/honey comes through and cardboard eases. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for picking this out.

Slightly yellowish golden pilsener, well carbonated to fluffy white, consistent head. Initially very grassy nose, pale malts, warm-sweetish aromas. Dry, very metallic/walnut - bitter pils. Bitterness completely obfuscates the restsweetness of the malt, and becomes more and more clearly hoppy with time. Some fruitiness in the back, as from fresh figs. Nice hoppy finish going over in long bitterish aftertaste, less sharp than in the beginning. Not bad, but I haven’t had a single pils in Czechia sporting such sharp bitterness. Overshooting its (obvious) target, but not without merits. Thanks, David.

Bottle courtesy of Dalzale. Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of caramel, some earthy hints. Tastes sweet and citrussy with a light bitter finish.

Not too bad of a Bohemian Pils, just a bit too sweet for me. It poured a rich golden color, was actively carbonated, but sported a slight, short-lived head. The aroma was all malt, almost wort-like, near cloyingly sweet. Didn’t taste bad. It was sweet malt all the way with a mild herbal & earthy hop finish... not quite hopped enough for a Pils. Drinkable, just not desireable.
