Philter XPA Lite
XPA Lite is the flagship XPA at half strength. The hop character carries over largely intact, with tropical fruit and citrus in the aroma and the same dry finish, while the thinner body makes the bitterness read a little sharper. At 2.1 percent it is a light beer rather than a mid-strength, aimed at long afternoons rather than one careful glass.
