Noob question. What is the diff between pale ale and extra pale ale?
My thinking was backwards on this. When I see "extra pale ale," I see the "extra pale" part and think its lighter or something..

Most extra pale ales I've seen are lighter in color and body.
The only extra pale ale I've ever had is sweetwater 420. It's way below a pale ale in all ways (lighter color, lower body and alcohol, lower hops.)
It's just a "light beer", but avoids the negative opinion that craft beer drinkers have of "light beer" by not putting the word "light" it.
"Extra pale" sounds better.

I recommend the Northern Brewer Extra Pale Ale. It's very hoppy, but delicious. I added a cup of dextrose so mine is probably a bit dryer than typical, but it's good.
Check out the lacing. The picture doesn't show it, but it's crystal clear. The color from the extract is more toward amber than pale.
I just tried this one for the first time last night. Also my first experience with "extra pale". Not bad, but would not go out of my way for it.
You got the recipe for it? I like Extra Pale Ale. I love SW 420 I did a clone. I'd rather do it AG but with the extra recipe I can convert it to AG.
Thanks in advance.:rockin:
The most common Extra Pale Ale that I have seen commercially available is Rolling Rock. It's between a blonde ale and a pale ale.

Rolling Rock is a lager.
Was it on tap or bottle? Man that is some good stuff on tap.
There are extra IPA's too (SN torpedo). It's just a term to distinguish it since it doesn't quite fit the style of an "IPA"
