Aussie XPA

Tap to rate

An extra pale ale hopped entirely with Australian varieties. Pale gold and clear, with a tropical nose of passionfruit, mango and pineapple over a light citrus lift. The malt base is thin and cracker-dry, deliberately staying out of the way, so the fruit sits in front from the first sip onward. Bitterness is moderate and clean, and the beer closes short and dry.
