UPDATED: AUG 9, 2021 Amber with a creamy, white head. Herbal aroma. Metals. Faint: toast and caramel. Taste is mildly bitter with a metallic end. Medium bodied. Neither refreshing nor chewy. Drinkable but drab.

UPDATED: NOV 30, 2020 Could be because I’m missing life in MN, but this was very excellent. I think it’s quality gets overshadowed by the fact that the craft beer industry has caught up to Summit.

UPDATED: MAR 29, 2020 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear pale amber with a frothy white head. Good foam retention. Very clean aroma with a mixture of yeast esters and malt. The flavor starts off with the sweet malt, but is quickly followed by a significant hop bitterness. Good Pale Ale with no penetrating hop oil like you find in many others. With 49 IBU´s, this beer is a bit more intense than most of the ales that you find in the UK.

UPDATED: JAN 26, 2020 On tap at Delta Sky Lounge, Minneapolis on 26-Jan-2020. Clear amber colour with a medium sized white head which dissipated rather quickly. Aroma of malt and caramel. Medium body amd carbonation. Medium bitterness. Taste of sweet malt, toffee note s and hops. Nicely balanced english style pale ale.

UPDATED: OCT 22, 2019 Sampler pack. Pours a dark copper with a thin tan head. Aroma is sweet and malty. Toasted malt flavor, some vegetable and a bitter finish. Lingering malt flavor.

UPDATED: OCT 3, 2019 The beer is neither too sweet or too bitter. It’s in the (almost) perfect middle. Ciule have more body but otherwise very good

UPDATED: JUN 16, 2019 Backlog, bottle that pours an amber golden with a medium head. Notes are slightly oxidized: some toasty malt, metal, corn, caramel, and pine. Average carbonation on a medium body

UPDATED: MAR 8, 2019 One of four samples from the 12-pack variety pack. Ho-hum for a Pale Ale/Extra. Balance is a little off, but overall decent flavor. Wanted some more hops. Light orange color with off-white head. Liked their IPA better, which actually seemed more like a hoppy Pale Ale, or what an 'Extra' should be.

This is kind of like a hopped up pilsener. If you are used to IPAs and want to back down to something smooth, lower alcohol, but with something that still has a little kick to it, this is a really good choice.

Nice drinkable beer. Not too hoppy, which is probably why I like it. Nice balance between the malts and hops.
