Summit

Summit is a semi-dwarf super high alpha hop variety released by the American Dwarf Hop Association in 2003. It is a cross between Lexus and an unspecified male derived from numerous hops including Zeus, Nugget and male USDA varieties.

Summit is a bittering hop that is commonly used only to bitter the beer during brewing, and not for too much flavor and aromas.

Summit hops' aroma descriptors include pepper, incense, anise, orange, pink grapefruit and tangerine. Summit is mainly used as a bittering hop, but does have earthy aromatic characteristics and subtle hints of citrus. Summit hops at times picks up notes of sulfur (like garlic/onion), so be careful when using this hop.

Some hops just taste better together. We recently analyzed [ 1 ] hundreds of the most popular beers to find which hops are commonly paired together. We found that Citra , Nugget , Chinook , Centennial , Amarillo & Simcoe hops are commonly used alongside the Summit hop. This is not a complete list, but should give you a good idea of what hops are commonly used together.
