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 13, 2008 Pours a copper body, thin white head with ZERO retention. floral hops in the aroma, a soft sweet start that quickly folds into well balanced bitterness. piney mid palate and finishes with a caramel-hop finish.

Jun 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark gold with a nice, long lasting, fluffy white head. Aroma is sweet citrus hops. Taste is sweet malt, subdued citrus hops, with a mild bitterness on the finish. Nice drinkable take on the style.

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!

Jun 4, 2008 3/14/08 (bottle from Bram. Very light aroma, I suppose a little hops and a little grass, but that’s about it. Taste is similar: it definitely is a close relative of an amber, maybe Rogue’s American Amber watered down. Drinkable, but certainly not superior. I am secretly hoping this is the weakest S.T. offering I try.
