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.”

Enjoyed with Steve, DrBayern and CelticBrew. IT did not have much nose, even after a few swirls around the glass. It poured a cloudy, dark yellow. The lace head lingered around the edge. Not particularly outstanding, a light mouth feel. Not one I would search out but would drink if someone offered again!

22 oz bottle. Pours clear gold with no head. Aroma mainly malt. Flavor is pretty blah, some lemon and malt. Crisp finish, but there is a nasty metallic flavor that lingers. Light mouthfeel, not impressed.

12 oz bottle. Pretty standard Pale Ale. Amber color, light hoppiness, smooth, easy to drink. Nothing stands out about this beer, but it’s easy drinking and nice on a hot day.

~Pours a clear golden color with foamy white head. ~Light sour malty scent. Similar to a cheap macro. ~Light bitter dirty hop taste balanced by light malts. A bit sour. ~Crisp feel, dry bitter finish ~I found this to be very similar to a cheap macro brew style. Then again I was drinking this from a plastic cup on a plane.

Appearance: Pours a hazy, copper body with a thin ring of white bubbles up top. Smell: Sweet-smelling, candyish malt nose with a backing of spiced citrus. Taste: Pale malts trailed by a big hit of candied caramel. Spice as well as lemony citrus and a balancing medium hop bitterness. Finishes clean and bittersweet. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A simple, though rather refreshing and pleasant APA. Oh, it hit the spot alright.

22oz bottle-A nice amber body with a small ring for ahead. Aroam of citrus, hops, and malt. Taste of hops, malt, bitterness, and dryness on the back end. Overall this medium bodied brew is an ok Pale Ale.

Light golden color with a medium to thin off-white head. Aroma is lightly sweet, honeysuckle, and a touch of straw. Flavor is very light, touch of citrus, fairly dry, but also fairly well balanced. Almost crisp finish - a bit of bittering on the tongue.

Really light bodied, clean flavors if somewhat muted. The hops are citric in flavor, but are background.
