| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 8, 2008 Pous a deep gold colour with a frothy white head that dimples as it fades. Impressions of tropical citrus and honey-sweet malts.The flavour is fresh, crisp and bready with overtones of citric and spruce-like bitterness. The yeast imparts spicy flavours to accompany the bready, citric flavours. The flavour profile is a little on the weak and plain side. I don’t really know why it’s called extrordinary ale, as it’s pretty uninspired and weak. It’s balanced, but not intense or different. The palate is medium bodied, slightly oily, and mildly carbonated with a dry, short finish. Sparky27 (1585), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 7, 2008 Bottle courtesy of GMCC2181. Pours a dark gold with one finger white head and nice lacing. Nose is sweet malts and citrus. Palate is grass, mild citrus and malt, with a dry mild finish. Medium mouth feel. Too mellow for an American Pale Ale for my tastes. Glad I was able to try it though – thanks Gabe! elihapa (1051), Honolulu, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 4, 2008 3/14/08 (bottle from Bram. Very light aroma, I suppose a little hops and a little grass, but that’s about it. Taste is similar: it definitely is a close relative of an amber, maybe Rogue’s American Amber watered down. Drinkable, but certainly not superior. I am secretly hoping this is the weakest S.T. offering I try. heynik1885 (53), tonawanda, New York, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 2, 2008 golden copper color, not much head, strong hoppiness tase and aroma, quite boring, taste goes away very quickly. Slipstream (747), USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 2, 2008 The sweet, hoppy aroma saturates the nose. Brass brew without much head. Pretty unappealing label. This is a dry, flavorful pale ale - crisp, peppy hops and mild malt. A little light on the palate. howie (549), DeForest, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 2, 2008 Looks boring, smells great, tastes great. Beautifully balanced hoppy APA with nice lightish malt backbone and a refreshing fruitiness. ReademNwheat (174), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 31, 2008 From a bottle, pours clear copper. Hints of piney hops, and caramel in the aroma. Same Flavors as the aroma. Decent pale ale. TomDecapolis (3149), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 31, 2008 Pours a mostly translucent golden amber with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of up front orange/citrus, fresh hops, light pine, doughy, caramel malt, various other fruity notes and lightly floral. Flavor of American hops, lots of citrus (orange is the most up front), bready, caramel and some light hop bitterness. Very nice American Pale Ale. Great beer to introduce folks to fine American Craft Beer.
