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.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 16, 2008
Bottled. A hazy golden with an off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of grass, grapefruit, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with hoppy notes of grass and grapefruit, as well as light notes of elderberry flowers, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is thin.

22 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a creamy white head. Peachy and grapefruity hoppy aroma, extremely fruity and inviting. Mild and crisp flavour with a lot of fruity hops flavours and oils. Nice crisp and without much caramel malt body, but it works okay.

Bottled. Hazy golden. Striking grapefruit aroma. Medium bodied with soft mouthfeel. Lingering citric hoppiness. Very bitter finish. An easy going but very well balanced ale with a lot of character on it’s own.

Bottled (thanks stoutlover72!). Amber colour, huge white head. Aroma is fruits, some grassyness and mild toffeeishness. Flavour is some slight fruity notes with toffee and some slight earthyness also. Fruity and yeasty aftertaste.
