Nose is caramel with floral hops. Taste of bread in the finish. It pours cloudy and and truly yellow golden.

Aug 17, 2008 On tap at the brewery, going by "Extra Pale Ale". My server said that it was like their pale ale, but hoppier because its an "extra pale ale". Ok. Well, it was darker in color than the pale, coming in at a dark gold, and the aroma had more dank hops. There was also a sweet malty smell, and this mixed to form a weird muddled mix in the nose. The flavor was maltier, with more hop flavor and less apparent hop bitterness. More balanced to put it plainly. Could be a lighter IPA. I found this one pleasant.

Jan 12, 2008 This one fooled me when I ordered. I thought it would be xtra pale, i.e. weak. Wrong. Nice floral, grapefruit and pine aromas. Orangey gold color with a creamy white head. Medium body with smooth carbonation. Flavor is grapefruity/floral hop with not a lot of malt. It tastes great and finished bitter. With a slight bite.

Dec 21, 2007 On tap at Sudwerk. A very similar brew to the IPA, this one hit harder on the hops and didn’t have much body to speak of. It was very hoppy though and deserving of the genre.

Dec 21, 2007 On tap, part of the 10 beer sampler. Very hoppy beer that ended with a dry bittnerness. Poured a pale yellow with minimal head,
