Switchback
An XPA hopped with Mosaic, Galaxy and two New Zealand trial varieties. The aroma is loud for the strength, with passionfruit, ripe feijoa and pineapple over a green, resinous edge, while traditional ale, Munich and Voodoo malt keep the body light and the colour pale. At 36 IBU the bitterness runs firmer than the style usually does, and the finish stays smooth and short.
