Xtra 2.0

◎ Appearance

Xtra 2.0 presents a hazy golden-orange body with soft cloudiness from suspended yeast and grain matter, characteristic of the style. The head is substantial and creamy, with fine bubbles that cling to the glass in delicate lacing. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, creating a gentle effervescence rather than sharp prickling.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes—lime zest and grapefruit—layered over ripe stone fruit and subtle tropical fruit character, a direct result of the double dry hopping. Beneath the hop-forward aromatics lies a gentle Edelhopfen spice and a soft grain sweetness from the wheat and oat base. The overall impression is fresh and inviting without any sharp or aggressive hop burn.

◐ Taste

The entry is soft and velvety on the palate, with the wheat and oats providing a silky mouthfeel that distinguishes this IPA from more aggressive interpretations of the style. Mid-palate develops gentle citrus bitterness and fruity hop flavors that echo the aroma, while maintaining balance and approachability. The bittering is restrained at 40 IBU, supporting rather than dominating the flavor profile.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with citrus and stone fruit notes lingering gently into the aftertaste. The 6.6% ABV remains well-concealed, allowing the hop character and soft grain character to fade gracefully without warming or harshness.
