4.18/5  rDev +12.4%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4

Appearance: Semi-translucent straw/copper hue. Two finger soapy off-white head.

Aroma: Pale malt and a little sweetness. Not much else there.

Taste: Hop forward with malt filling in all the blank spots on the palate. Slightly bitter throughout with a nice hop kick right in the middle. Not getting any citrus which is usually present in APAs and EPAs, but that flavor is not missed at all. The malt really rounds out the hops nicely.

Mouthfeel: Good effervescence and highly drinkable/sessionable.

Final Thoughts: One of Summit's best offerings, their flagship Extra Pale Ale can please both novices and beer enthusiasts alike. It has a good level of complexity while remaining very easy to enjoy on all levels.
