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: Clear gold with a fizzy white head. Grassey and grainy combine in a dry aroma. Flavor is floral and dusty, slight hints of lagerish malt. Pale Ale? More grassey and metallic notes... Not really connecting with this one.

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.

Bomber poured a clear gold with a lasting ivory head. Aromas of bead, graininess and light fruittiness. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of bread, light carmel and a hint of fruittiness with a smooth lightly bitter finish.

Bottle from Ray’s Food Place in Rogue River, OR. Poured a copper color with a pretty good sized head. Light in the palate with malt flavor with a little bit of a hop finish. Another average brew I would drink for free, but wouldn’t spend any money on.
