Commercial Description:
The original Extra Pale Ale, this is the one that started it all. Our first brew was introduced in 1989 in Golden Gate style kegs. We have stayed true to our beginnings and still brew it the way we did back then. A bright golden hued ale with a medium body and a crisp spicy /floral hop character and very mild bitterness. This unfiltered ale has a pleasing mouth feel and remains our most popular brew. This beer goes with everything and every occasion.

Light hazy gold with a foamy head. Citrus hop and caramel malt aroma. Light slightly sweet flavor with a short hoppy finish. Not bad, but no big deal.

2008 GABF winner...What? Why? Slightly yellow-straw color. No head. A very earthy and a bit sour odor. Tastes the way it smells. It’s ok. It’s very light with a slight coating flavor from the hops, which are barely there. Drink up. this 6 will go in minutes...It’s better than most EXTRA pale ales. but this isn’t an awesome beer. just a good one.

Bottle. Pours gold with a white head. Lightly sweet malty aroma with a touch of hops. The flavor is light, well balanced, and very drinkable, with relatively low bitterness and some sweet malt. Nice enough.

Has a nice deep golden color. Hints are of hops. Has a nice hop flavor to it with a little bit of a bite. Aftertaste is bitter, yet smooth. It’s weird how that works out. Overall this is a pretty decent brew. Glad to have tried this one. Would have this one again.
