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.

Pours clear gold with a white head. Aroma is citrus and grass. Taste is sweet with faint hints of bitterness. Light bodied and very easy to drink, a lawnmower beer and sessionable. Unfortunately a little bland for an APA.

DiarmaidBHK (2278) - Pennsylvania, USA - APR 29, 2013
Bottle from total wine chantilly. Pours golden with a thin white head. Nothing on the nose. Malty on the tongue. Not much hop presence there. Finishes blah. Eh!

gripweed57 (319) - Hamilton Square, New Jersey, USA - APR 27, 2013
12 ounce bottle. Bright brassy gold color topped by a medium-sized rocky white head. Mild grainy malt nose with notes of tropical fruit. Tangy biscuit malt flavor is balanced by a crisp citrus hop character. Lacks real depth or complexity, but very drinkable.

Beergeek23322 (426) - Chesapeake, Virginia, USA - APR 15, 2013
From a 12 oz. bottle. Poured golden yellow with a short white head. Aroma of hay, honey and caramel. The finish is somewhat sappy and a little sweet.

odinstyr (457) - Hamilton, New Jersey, USA - APR 2, 2013
Pours a clear gold with a small short lived white head. Smells of biscuit, hint of spruce. Taste is sweet, mildly bitter - biscuit, honey, floral hops. Very mild for a pale ale, malty for the style.

randomgarbage (1320) - @ $13.99, Iowa, USA - MAR 12, 2013
light yellow pour with a white head. Aroma of biscuits, honey, and a bit of hops. Pretty clean, easy drinking. People probably rate this low expecting a bitter hop bomb pale ale, but I still dig what’s going on here.

DMLINAZ (183) - Mesa, Arizona, USA - FEB 28, 2013
Pours yellow or slightly golden with a thick fluffy white head. Slight aroma of malts, a little hop underneath. Not hoppy. Malty. More of an amber ale. Not bad, but mislabeled.

maxwelldeux (2226) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - JAN 24, 2013
Bottle. Pours a clear dark golden color. Smells a little skunky like a lager, actually. Taste is too malty for the style. I don’t get any of the hoppiness coming through. Meh.
