Back in January, we told you about Summit’s latest offering, Hopvale Organic Ale. Yesterday, Summit announced that this beer will be rolling out shortly with a series of release events. Hopvale will be available for your imbibing pleasure starting the first week of April on draught and in 16 oz. 4-pack cans. Summit describes the beer as having the hop character of an IPA with the drinkability of a Bitter. They go on to suggest that you’ll fine notes of grapefruit, pine resin, lemon rind and tangerine. We’re thirsty already.
“Summit’s ongoing commitment to using the highest quality of ingredients inspired the addition of an organic beer into our year-round line up of brews,” said Head Brewer Damian McConn.
