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.”

A golden appearance with a small white head. The aroma is rather faint with some lemons and soap. The flavor is slightly bitter with some lemons and grapefruit present. This is like SNPA light or something. Nothing wrong with it but nothing to seek out either. Overall a decent session beer.

On tap at the brewery - This beer was quite disappointing to me. Didn’t smell like much. Didn’t taste like much. Tasted very light considering the 6.2% ABV. Not much character. This may be a good beer to use to introduce Budweiser drinkers to microbrews.

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