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.

Nice all around. Pours clear golden yellow with little white head. Aroma is citrus and perfumy hops with some malt sweetness. Flavor is exceptionally balanced. All flavors complement and don’t overpower one another. Nice easy drinker.

This is actually an extra pale ale, so i give it high marks for its full body, strong hops scents and easy to drink finish. Its the perfect beer to share with people who dont know anything bout beer. Youll have a hearty brew and theyll have a crisp refreshing drink. Very well done for its catagory.

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.

Golden body with medium sized white head. Aroma bursts with lemon citrus hops and bready malts. Flavour is citrus with light wood and pine with a nice malt balance. Finishes with light lingering hops.

I really enjoyed this ber. Nice clean golden color, great aroma of hops and fruit, definitely an american pale ale and not an IPA, but very well balanced hop flavor.

This golden ale poured with a nice off-white head. Initially, there is a sweet citrus flavor and a crisp mouthfeel, with a dry more bitter finish. This is a good everyday beer, but not quite up to the very high AleSmith standard.

Bomber from BevMo in Pasadena, CA. Pours a hazy straw and supports a tall rocky off-white head with great retention. Wonderful aroma of fresh cut flowers, hops, pine and citrus. Beatifully balanced flavors very much in line with the aroma all playing off of a solid malty backbone. Rich and smooth mouthfeel and a crisp, dry finish. This is really nice pale with plenty of flavor and character.
