Land & Sea XPA
Land & Sea XPA is a collaboration between Californian craft stalwart Alvarado Street Brewery of Salinas, United States, and Monterey Bay F.C., celebrating the coastal character of the Central Coast. Brewed with 100% Nelson Sauvin hops, this Extra Pale Ale pours a bright, pale golden with a fine white head. The aroma bursts with sun-drenched tropical fruit — think ripe passionfruit, white grape, and fresh gooseberry. On the palate it is light-bodied yet flavourful, delivering juicy waves of tropical citrus balanced by a clean, grassy hop character. The finish is crisp and refreshing, with a gentle bitterness that invites the next sip. An approachable, sessionable XPA that perfectly captures its Pacific shoreline spirit.
