Peak Organic Brewing Co - Fall Summit Ale

The brew is a dark copper-brown.  Silky lacing and a slim, but constant, head.  Moderate carbonation level.

Smells of tropical jelly bean hops.  Very sweet and attractive.  Butterscotch and faint maple in the tail end.

Tastes close to how it smells.  Hop bitterness, hop flavor, and malt sweetness form an excellent balance.  Warming.  Finishes without a lingering aftertaste.  Oriented toward the hops, but not overbearing.  On the thinner side, but the hop content extends the body in a misleading, yet agreeable, way.  Sort of stretches it like a silky syrup.

Very hoppy, but brown enough to balance out the overreaching nature of hop oriented brews.  Notably drinkable, not to mention, organic!
