Commercial Description:
AleSmith X Extra Pale Ale is a clean, light-colored, light-bodied ale. The People's Choice award winner at the 2000 San Diego Real Ale Festival and the second runner-up in 2001, it has a good dose of dry hops balanced by a gentle sweetness, giving an almost sweet-and-sour effect. Appearance: Light golden color, and a nice white head, with good retention when properly served. Flavor: Starts off with almost tingling flavors of citrus and pine, balanced by a nice malty sweetness, then fades to a dry finish with a lingering hoppiness. Aroma: Strong lemony-citrusy character, with sweet malt and pine in the background. Mouthfeel (body/texture): Smooth, light-bodied.

The ultimate session beer, and what an EPA should taste like. Has a very lemony/grassy taste with a very smooth finish that leaves you wanting more.

Pours clear golden yellow with and impressively frothy head. Aroma of heavily floral hops with a matching flavor high in hops that provide a bitter and grassy component. Maintains a light body with a citrus sourness that allows for great drinkability.

Picked up a 22-oz bomber via Liquid Solution. Pours a semi-clear orange amber colored brew with an off-white head and decent lacing. Aroma of citrus and floral hops, grapefruit, caramel malt and some tropical fruit. Taste is slightly carbonated, some lemon zest, caramel and light herbs. Finish is smooth and a mild bitterness. A solid American Pale Ale overall.

Clear yellow orange color with a small head. Aroma has some nice hops, pine and citrus balanced with caramel malts. Flavor is bright and clean and crisp with some juicy hops. Nice pale.

Pale amber pour with white head. When you pour it a piney citrus and malt aroma jumps out at you. Flavors of lemon citrus, hops, and a balanced malt flavor. Flavors are not that strong, and the beer is very smooth and drinkable.

22oz bottle. Pours translucent pale orange, capped with a frothy off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit, toffee, grass, and dish soap. Grapefruit hits the palate first, which is joined by white pepper, caramel, grass, and mild herbal notes. Grapefruit lingers on the palate. Medium bodied and very drinkable.
