Capital XPA

◎ Aussehen

Capital XPA presents a bright golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent white head that leaves delicate lacing on the glass. The beer displays lively carbonation evident in steady streams of bubbles. The overall impression is clean and inviting, characteristic of a well-executed pale ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical and citrus notes—prominent bergamot and citrus blossom character from the dry hop blend frame the aroma. Mango and subtle blueberry notes add depth, while the Golden Promise malz contributes a light, rounded sweetness in the background. The overall effect is aromatic and inviting without aggressive hop burn.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is clean and smooth, with the Golden Promise malz providing a rounded, lightly sweet foundation. Mid-palate develops the signature hop character—Mosaic, Azacca and Amarillo deliver citrus, mango and flashes of berry with restrained bitterness that complements rather than dominates. The 30 IBU integration is deft, allowing complexity without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and dry, with lingering citrus and berry notes fading gracefully. At 4.8% ABV, the beer remains refreshing and easy to drink, inviting another sip without fatigue.
