COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
An original American pale ale, our XPA highlights the subtle, sophisticated flavors and aromas of our Midwestern two-row malt and imported aromatic and Munich malts. Washington-grown Mt. Hood and Fuggles hops create an extremely balanced beer with a beautiful straw color.

I generally don’t like Pale ales, but I really did enjoy this one. Great for non beer geeks too.

This is an excellent American Pale Ale, with a slight to medium hoppy aroma that fits the taste perfectly. Very balanced, easy to drink and very enjoyable.

This is a decent beer. It’s a little lighter in flavor then other pale ales, but had a nice golden color and creamy head. I liked it!

Clear golden in color. Very clean aroma. Nice hoppy pale ale but well balanced by the malt.. Really enjoyable brew.

This extra pale ale has a beautiful straw yellow color and smooth poor. Because it is extra pale, you lose that strong hop flavor for a smooth finish that anyone with a distate for IPAs (like my girlfriend Jeannine) couldn’t resist. It is delicious on tap at Citizens Bank Park for a fantastic Phillies Game.

Nice aroma and taste. Only problem is the bitter aftertaste. But still a good IPA

Starts smooth, then tingles across the tongue. Super rich! Loaded with malty goodness; has a sweetness that’s complemented fairly well by a decent dosing of hops. Nice bitter aftertaste. Clear, light-golden color; proof that not all light-colored beers are light in flavor!

Another nice session beer. Not as hoppy as I like, but a smooth drinking ale with a beautiful deep golden color.
