Commercial Description:
Summit Extra Pale Ale is not a beer brewed only for beer snobs. Just the opposite. It’s a beer for everyone to enjoy: construction workers, stock brokers, farmers, sales people, clerks, teachers, lawyers, doctors, even other brewers. Its light bronze color and distinctly hoppy flavor have made it a favorite in St. Paul, Minneapolis and the rest of the Upper Midwest ever since we first brewed it back in 1986.

Very bitter and flat. Not totally refreshing. Drinkable though. Not as much head as Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale. Other than that it is exactly the same.

OBF 2008. Pours gold with a smooth white head. Citrus hops up front in the nose, crisp and medium dry finish. Body was a bit thin, but this still wasn’t a bad, nice balance to it, good hopped up pale.

Pours a nice golden color with very thin head. Distinct, bitter taste of hops, but quite drinkable. A pretty good pale ale.

Typical APA regardless of "Extra" being thrown into the name. Very light in hops for a pale, and ends little watery. Overall I would give this an OK rating.

Poured a golden orange color. Aroma was quite hoppy, but almost kind of skunky. Tasted hoppy and bitter. Decent overall beer, typical pale ale.
