Summit Elderflower IPA

Summit Elderflower IPA.
6.2 % ABV. 41 IBU.
Summit Brewing, St. Paul, MN.

Here's one I had to purchase a sampler pack to get. The other nine cans included the ever-popular Saga, the newish "juicy IPA" Slugfest, and the newest entry, Twenty-One, all beers I've had before and will happily consume again. Sample packs are cost-effective, very important in these days of too much time and no money.

Clear, amber-hued, slim white head.

In the nose: Lightly floral, notes of sage, lavender and melon.

In the mouth: Pleasant entry on the palate. Moderate bitterness. Juicy malt. Stone fruit and melon. Not too citrusy, just a touch here and there. Delicate and drinkable.

This is a perfectly acceptable ale, but nothing not really up my alley. As far as IPAs go, it's a pass.
I'll down my allotment without a trouble, and move on to something with a bit more of a bitter bite.

Born from our brewer’s desire to try underutilized New Zealand hops and elderflower flavors, Summit Elderflower IPA combines a northwest European flower with south pacific island hops. Low in bitterness and high in flavor, Elderflower IPA is a perfect marriage of northern and southern hemisphere.
