Jun 21, 2008 Presentation: Poured from a 12oz brown bottle into a pint glass. It pours a beautiful golden amber color with a thin head that fades fast leaving just a few bubbles around the sides of the glass. The aroma get a kick of citrus, floral and piney hops with undertones of sweet bready malts. Its flavor starts with sweet bready malts with a light toasted note. It soon builds up to a burst of fruity and piney hops with a decent bitterness that fades off into the finish. The palate is smooth and slightly oily with average carbonation and a medium body. Overall it has a strong hop presence with an easy to drink, refreshing palate. Its good but I wouldn’t call it extraordinary.

Jun 20, 2008 Bottle thanks to beerbill. Pours somewhere between crystal clear and hazy, a yellowish to straw colour, with little to no head. Aroma is a little bit of grassy hops, not much else, except maybe a faint spiciness. Flavour is pretty much the same lots of hop bitterness, with a bit of malt in the middle and more hops on the finish. Carbonation seems a bit low, and the brew is a bit watery. Pretty tasty though.

Jun 15, 2008 Chaucers in London, served nice and cold in a trappist glass, poured gold with no head in the rinsed glass. In comparison to domestic Aaes, this is extraordinary, but for any craft beer comparison, it’s daring to call it extraordinary. It was alright, aroma was pretty week - citrus, a bit of malt. Taste was thin, a bit of grassy hops, finished even. Not bad, but the percentile rating is genuinely how I feel about this brew.

Jun 9, 2008 Bottle from the mixpack, good not great. A decent easy to drink ale that could be a little heavier on the hops in my opinion.

Jun 8, 2008 Pous a deep gold colour with a frothy white head that dimples as it fades. Impressions of tropical citrus and honey-sweet malts.The flavour is fresh, crisp and bready with overtones of citric and spruce-like bitterness. The yeast imparts spicy flavours to accompany the bready, citric flavours. The flavour profile is a little on the weak and plain side. I don’t really know why it’s called extrordinary ale, as it’s pretty uninspired and weak. It’s balanced, but not intense or different. The palate is medium bodied, slightly oily, and mildly carbonated with a dry, short finish.

Jun 7, 2008 Bottle courtesy of GMCC2181. Pours a dark gold with one finger white head and nice lacing. Nose is sweet malts and citrus. Palate is grass, mild citrus and malt, with a dry mild finish. Medium mouth feel. Too mellow for an American Pale Ale for my tastes. Glad I was able to try it though – thanks Gabe!
