Barrett says Seasonal for a Reason
February 1st, 2008
It’s not that all Summit products taste *exactly the same*, but the brand does have a signature taste. I’m a regular EPA drinker, so this beer just reminds me of what I’m used to drinking, but leaves me wanting for more bitterness. I’ll take a malty beer now and then — I mean, I liked the Gluek for what it was worth — but generally, I like some bite.
There’s nothing wrong with Summit Winter, but as far as the Summit products go, well, I’ll stick to the traditionals.
