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.”

12 oz, bb 10-25-08. Clear amber with a small soapy ring of foam and spotty lace. Faint aromas of caramel, apple and a dash of barber tonic. Mild 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.

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.
