Beer of the Week Blast from the Past: SLO Brewing Co. Extra Pale Ale

Beer score: 7.9

This brewing company is still around though I believe it's changed ownership a couple of times over the decades. Unfortunately, they no longer make this award-winning pale ale, though I suppose it's not impossible they could start making it again some day, and they do make other pale ales.

This one scared me when I first tried it a couple of decades ago because it had a bit of a sour, malt liquor smell. However, the taste was good with a little froth. It went down bitter and left a mixed taste of sweeet and bitter in the mouth.

Overall, a pretty good beer. I hope they bring it back, even if just on a nostalgic temporary basis.
