Summit Hopvale Organic Ale


Summit Hopvale Organic. Proudly brewed in St. Paul, Minnesota. Session Ale brewed with Lemon Peel. Brewed with organic hops, organic malt, and organic lemon peel. Alc. 4.7% by Volume.

Appearance: mostly clear, with some chill haze, golden hued, white head with lacing.

Aroma: big citrus zest nose screams out of the glass, some floral and spice notes, too. Lively, lovely stuff.

Taste: Nice, tidy hop bite at the fore, then all is smooth and mellow. Lean, crisp malt body. Sweet malt character is soon subsumed by bittersweet hop attack. Nice refreshing light ale, sure to be a hit this summer. (Though it's a year-round.) Long, pleasant bitter hop finish. It's not amazing or anything, but not everything has to be. Good beer. You can drink it.

Here's a little more about this beer.
