Finally, my first AleSmith brew (purchased in VT). Pours a golden colour with a foamy white head, good retention and loads of soapy lace. Decent hop nose with the grapefruit notes and sweet malts. Fruity taste that is milder than the smell, all mixed with the grain. Half wet and refreshing, half dry and lightly bitter finish. A very nice Extra Pale Ale and a nice introduction to this brewery (which I have read so much about).

Whole Foods, Bowery 650ml ($6): Pours orange with a nice white head. Aroma is grapefruit, pine, and little malts. Taste is hoppy at the front and then dips into sweetness towards the finish. Sweetness continues in the aftertaste. Not exceedingly hoppy, but quite flavorful. Mellow with a nice mouth feel. This is a good session APA.

1pt, 6 fl oz bottle. Pours a clear golden yellow amber colour with a thick fluffy white head leaving lots of lacing, and melon tropical fruit plus lemon citrus hop aroma. Taste is sharp bitterness with malt, tropical fruit, pine, grapefruit citrus, floral notes, and some sweetness, through to a very dry bitter finish. Light bodied, high carbonation giving a fizzy mouthfeel. Quite drinkable.

1 pt. 6 oz. bottle. Slightly hazy golden colour with a huge, bubbly white head. Aroma with floral hops, a good amount of citrus, pines and lemons, a little bit of spices. Sweetness from pale malts. Faint soapy notes. Taste has a medium bitterness. Medium body, lively cabonation, that gives a prickling sensation on the tongue and palate. Long lasting, bitter finish with lots of citrus fruits and a hint of caramel malts. Very good APA.
