Five Points XPA

◎ Aussehen

Pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, effervescent carbonation that sustains a fine white head. The foam holds firm with delicate lacing that clings to the glass walls as you drink. Light catches the beer with a luminous quality befitting its extra pale character.

◌ Aroma

Tropical fruit notes dominate the nose, with distinct mango and passionfruit character leading the way. Citra and Galaxy hops layer in citrus brightness and subtle stone fruit undertones. The Malz base remains restrained, allowing the hop aromatics to command attention without heavy grain presence.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens clean and bright, with tropical hop flavors immediately present on entry. Mid-palate reveals a balanced interplay between light, slightly sweet Malz notes from barley, oats and wheat, and an assertive, zingy hop bitterness that builds steadily. The bitterness finishes sharp and refreshing rather than harsh, leaving the palate crisp and awakened.

◑ Abgang

The bitter, hoppy finish persists with encouraging length, maintaining the zingy character throughout. A dry, refreshing aftertaste lingers without becoming astringent, inviting the next sip.
