X Marks the Spot
An extra pale ale hopped with a blend of American and Australian varieties, added at cooler whirlpool temperatures to hold on to the more delicate aromatics. Juicy pineapple leads, with bright citrus behind it and a faint hoppy spice at the edge. The malt base stays clean and the body light, while the bitterness is firmer than the aroma suggests, and the finish is crisp and dry. Released in limited runs rather than year-round.
