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.

Just realized that I have yet to rate this beer. I brought a bottle across the country for dmtroyer and haven’t yet rated it! Anyway, light in color and mouth feel. You could drink a lot of this. Nicely hopped, some weird spice going on - mint is a good description. Subtly sweet, and just the right bitterness.

Had this at my wedding. A great beer to just drink all night long. Clean, crisp, refreshing, but flavorful enough to keep you interested.

From a 22oz. bottle purchased locally. Aroma is hoppy, citrus and pineapple with a hint of grain. Color is a clear gold with a white rocky head. First is the hop bitterness and some piney flavor followed by the malt, starting bready and biscuits and followed by some toast. Light, clean, dry finish makes me want another sip. Not heavy. A great American Pale Ale.

Bottle from Bevmo in Solana Beach. Pours a pale golden color with a thin white head that diminishes quickly. Spotty lacing. Floral hops aroma with notes of citrus and pears. Medium-bodied and moderately hoppy with floral and spiced notes. Some light malt and fruit in the background as well. The finish is mostly hoppy with some biscuity malt behind it, and a lingering bitter aftertaste. Above average overall, however not up to par with what I imagine Stone can accomplish in an APA.

Thanks to ghawener. Drank it in last nite El Salvador Beer Session. Nice well rounded IPA. Pours a clear, light golden color with a big white head. Light bodied, taste of pine and citrus. Short finish.

Incredible nose of pine and citrus - very inviting. Very light in color, very effervescent, with a nice white head. Lemons and pine flavor with a nice, malty sweetness. Very crisp and light bodied. Lingering pine. Absolutely delish!
