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.”

Bottle courtesy of lithy. Pours gold with a rocky white head. Smells of metal, perfume, flowers, dry malt. Tastes of dry malt, light pepper, some grass and hay.

Bottle, filtered, force-carbonated. Hay and honey scented malts in the nose along with a dull and stale oxidized rye and orange marmalade hop note. Lively carbonation, medium body, slightly oily texture in the finish. Moderately crisp but lacks freshness and impact. Stale honey, rye, wheat and soybean all come to mind. Weak effort.

Bottle: Golden color with a nice white head and a clean ring of lacing. The nose is lightly citrusy with some lotion and some pale malt. The flavor is nicely bitter with a sweet pale malt and a lemony hop component that somehow is sweeter than the nose comes off to be. The finish is sweeter and balanced. Nice clean end to an initially mellow/average smelling pale ale.

Bomber from Liquid Solutions. Orange gold color with a substantial white head. Seems to have a light citrus aroma over biscuit. Medium body with creamy carbonation. More hop (citrus) than malt (caramel). Keep forgetting extra means more. It’s really dry, tending toward astringency. Much better than hoped. Clean finish, but not extremely bitter. Pretty good.

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.

Draft. Golden-amber beer with a whitish head. Light grapefruit and malt aroma. Malt flavor with light grapefruit and light spice. Medium bodied. Easy drinking. Light malt lingers with light spice and light grapefruit.

Pours a deep golden color with a small white head leaving minor lacing behind. Kinda hopped up golden ale, soft biscuity malt flavor, bitter grassy hop finish. Pretty decent sessionable brew with enough hops to quench the thirst.
