Light mouthfeel with very light carbonation. Silky smooth taste is counterbalanced by the sourness of lemon and grass, along with a little bit of hop bitterness. I’d prefer this to be a little stronger, but it’s certainly one of the best PAs I’ve tried. A great session beer. YogiBeera (2437), Hamburg, Germany

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Dec 7, 2004 Poured a light and hazy golden yellow color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of grasses, earthy and kinda of on the skunky side. Fizzy body. I really did not care for this one too much. Hairofthedog (419), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 5, 2004 Rich yellowish color w/ very light head and good lacing. Pine and citrusy notes w/ hints of flowers. Dry to the palate. meathookjones (245), Sterling, Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 29, 2004 22oz brown bomber with a plain silk screen lettering of Alesmith X, extra pale ale. The one pours a slightly hazy yellow with a good looking white foamy head with decent retention. Aroma is not too strong but floral and citrus hops are mingling around. This tastes slightly sweet with citrus hop and tart malt flavors melding together to balance out this refreshing brew. This has a light body with a decent amount of carbonation. This is not one of Alesmith’s stand out brews but a good one anyway. A little light in feel and taste then most pale ales this should make for a refreshing drink on a hot day.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Nov 28, 2004 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. SDalkoholic (1198), Chula Vista, California, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Nov 7, 2004 Bruised lemon skin. Subtle aroma of fruits, mainly pear, but also a touch of peach and melon. Fairly hoppy in the aroma. Solid, satisfying flavor with a nice hoppy and fruity flavor with notes of lemon, grapefruit and orange. Bready, sweet malts come next followed by a notes of peach. Creamy, bubbly, exploding mouthfeel. This beer really fades on the finish. Silly me, I wanted just a little more assertion.
