Dry, leafy, semi-bitter and vegetal - there is nothing terribly stand out about this beer, and there are several discernible flaws (outside of the dms), which is pretty hard to do in an ipa - the hop flavor is earthy and tasty, which is this beers saving grace, but this is a bit messy, even for an ipa.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Clear golden, some sediment, rich head. Fruity nose with light juicy tangerine and some coriander. Fairly light bodied with clean, rounded mouthfeel. Light soapy and a bit lagerlike with it’s fruityness, but with unmistakable witbier flavours.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Clear golden, rich head. Mildoily orange aroma. Mid-sweet with light-medium body and clean rounded mouthfeel. Mild grass and hay flavour, medium bitterness. Areally well made beer, providing just what Iexpect from a pasteurized, filtered Czech pilsener. Deserves to be made a kvasnicovy.

Bottled@Monks Café Sveavägen, Stockholm. Amber colour, small off-white head. Aroma is bready, fruity, a bit wooden as well as slightly grassy as well. Flavour is fruits, wood, grass, mild caramel and quite thin. Quite mellow in many ways, but still very bittery dry in the finish.

Nitro Tap. Pours with a black body and a milk like tan head. Aroma of chocolate, fudge, vanilla and a ton of esters for a stout like this. Taste is oatmeal, leather, chocolate, more esters and some bitter roast. Creamy nitro mouthfeel. Best beer that I have had from Summit!

Bottle. Poured a clear bronze with a thin white head. Aroma had some pine notes as well as a grain and cereal note. Flavor was sweet from the malts with the pine hops being more of an undertone.

Bottle thanks to angrypirate06. Pours with an off-white head and a burnt golden body. Aroma is grassy with husky grain and some sweetness. Taste is grainy, astringent, cardboard, wet dog and perhaps some very light pine hops. Fizzy.

Bottle thanks to me...no wait, this one angrypirate06 brought (surprisingly). Pours with a copper brown (not red) body and an off-white head. Aroma of PNW hops up front (pleasant change from all the pale lagers angrypirate06 has provided tonight)! Pine, citrus and dusty chocolate notes as well as nutshells. Taste is hops, citrus, table sugar, nutshells and a bit of a harsh, bitter astringency in the finish. A bit thin and fizzy.

Single bottle. Summit’s beers so far have been ticks for me, absolutely nothing enjoyable about them. So I wonder if this one will be any different as I sit at my computer, glass in hand, bottle opener at the ready. Oh wait, its a twist top. No cool message under the cap like some of the Texas twist-tops. Frothy white head on a somewhat aggressive pour. Very murky orange body. Bottle conditioned or just a lot of flocculent yeast? Aroma is malt first. Kind of smells rich, like a very faded IIPA. Caramel, bread, syrup. Some spent grains. Very mild and light citrus hops. Maybe a hint of pine as well, but the hops are so far in the back of the aroma it becomes hard to differentiate. Flavor just isn’t good. There is a strong flavor that I always associate with wet dogs. Some caramel and faint papery oxidation as well. Some hops, but they are all bitterness, with no developed flavor (early additions). Medium bubbles, thin with that horrible lingering after taste. Another tick from a mediocre (at best) brewery.
