An overly excited beer store clerk, really wanted me to try this...it was kind of strange, but whatever. His shop looked like a beer-geek Mecca, but apparently had no customers...4 cases of HopSlam were sitting out in the open collecting dust, and several bottles of 2 to 3 year old micros (seriously, I bought a Goose Island Fleur that was bottled in early 2010) were literally coated with dust. After talking about SweetWater 420, this guy was so excited for me to buy a $6 bomber that he gave me an Urthel glass, just so I wouldn't have to drink it out of the bottle in a hotel...freakin' random, but I wasn't going to argue, as he had WAY too much glassware stock. Anyway, about the beer...
AleSmith X is labeled as an extra pale ale. The beer is basically a pale, but lighter. One of the Ba reviews described it as an "epic session beer" and i cannot agree more. Very simple, lightly hopped with subtle citrus and tea flavors. This may actually be the easiest drinking (but best tasting) beer I have ever had...for the price, though, it just isn't worth it. Bummer. It is a fun one...would be perfect in a kegerator...oh well...again..
