Dec 9, 2008 Bottle thanks to ilovedarkbeer. I like this beer nearly as much as I like the commercial description (insert sarcasm). Pours with a white head and some lacing over the clear golden body. Aroma of honey, faint hops, fruits and raw malt. Taste is honey, tea, light fruits (melon) and mint. Fizzish mouthfeel.

Nov 30, 2008 Lots of late hop flavor focusing on mandarin orange. A zesty bitterenss picks up in the end. Quite good!

Nov 29, 2008 Poured from a 12oz bottle and served in a shaker. This pale ale poured a fairly clear golden amber hue with a thin head of beige foam that settled into a lasting film. Some nice, even lacing was left around the glass. The aroma consisted of mild caramel, dried oranges, and citrus. The flavor included thin malts and faint citrus. A bland mix of caramel and oranges. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied and had moderate carbonation. Bland and amazingly dull.

Nov 27, 2008 Pours a clear orange color with a small off white head. taste is dry malt slightly toasted and has a very short almost minty finish that leaves the taste of corn and adjuncts in the mouth. Not a fan.

Nov 26, 2008 pretty bold to call this extraordinary, and i am a southern tier fan! their artisan beers in 22s are great at worst but anything in a 12oz bottle is junk. this is the best of the worst, so to speak....lightly hopped but still lacking balance or any real challenge. pours straw yellow, flavors of cereal and other bad lager qualities. weak hops and overly sweet malt. typical poor pale ale. cmon guys! you can do better!

Nov 21, 2008 12 oz. bottle served with a glass at The Galway Tribes (Frankfort, IL). Poured a decent enough darler gold hue, lightly hazed, with a whitish head that is decent in size and sustainability. Aromas are subdued: Pale ale malts mixing with some light citrusy hops. Overall, average. Taste is similar, a tad lighter on the palate but very sessionable. Lighter bready malts mixing with lemony citrus balance well, but don’t push the envelope on flavor. Overall, average and sessionable. No harsh flavors, nothing bad, just no defining characteristics. Cheers.

Nov 21, 2008 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Clear copper with barely any head. Overripe fruit aroma. Overripe peach honey sweetness with medium hop bitterness. Decent balance. Medium body and carbo. An average pale ale. I think you take extra responsibility when you name a beer "extraordinary". This one seems anything but.
