Commercial Description:
Sling Shot Extra Pale Ale is a crisp, clean, full-bodied brew available for a limited release. Light and golden in color, but richly hopped with Cascade and Nugget hops and composed of the choicest malts, Sling Shot lives up to its claim of being “a mischievous ale that hits the spot.”

Bottle... Poured clear gold with a thick white head. Aroma of herbs and biscuit-malt. Palate is acidic with lots of carbonation. Flavors consist mostly of malt which flow to more floral, earthy hop characteristics. Finish is lemony with alcohol acidity. As other’s have stated here, I think this may be a good session beer. It’s refreshing and non-offensive, there’s just not that extra effort one may want.

12 oz, bb 10-25-08. Clear amber with a small soapy ring of foam and spotty lace. Aroma of caramel, apple and a dash of barber tonic. Flavors of honey and lightly peppery spice, caramel apple and slight wood. Light-medium body is lightly tingly with carbonation and sorta dryish.

Orange amber looking pour with minimal fizzy head. A floral grassy aroma with a citrus air that carries into the palate. A hops dryness towards the finish with a lingering slight bitterness. Meh, didn’t like this one really.

Amber orange colored, moderate head, decent lacing and retention. Aroma is lightly grapefruity, some caramel, somewhat floral. Medium bodied, moderate to low bitterness. Drinkable but lacks character.

Bisquity cracker malt aroma. Metallic and slightly fruity (white grape, lemon). Cracker malts dominate the flavor, mild citiric fruitiness, grapefruit. Minimal floral hoppiness, I don’t see what makes it extra pale. Palate is overcarbed.
