2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: JUN 8, 2007 This is not the best Summit product, but it isn’t bad. I’m not sure if it is the style that I am judging or the beer. It smells okay, looks pretty good, and tastes like it should. I can’t really put a finger on it.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a fizzy white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma is sweet, but complex. Taste is balanced with bread flavor and some spicy notes. Light to medium body with a dry mouth-feel and dry finish. This is a good session beer, especially for warm summer nights.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Golden colored pour with a modest, slowly dissolving head. Mild malt flavor with nothing else notable in the scent. Nice balance of hop and malt flavors with the hops hitting early and the malt taking over. Aftertaste is back to the hops, with an alcohol flavor letting you know this beer has some backbone. I definitely enjoyed this beer, it is suitable for the summer, but has more body than your average ’summer beer’
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: a clear bronze gold pour with a some bubbles, faint malt and caramel aromas, some sweet flavor with lots of pilsner and Munich and/or Vienna malt flavor, the fragrance is deceiving, the aroma did not give a clue to the big malt flavor waiting at that first sip, there is low to medium bitterness on the tongue, some bread and toast flavor on the palate, dry finish, when the beer arrived at room temperature, there was a little alcohol in the drink but this did not get in the way of enjoying this beer.
