Commercial Description:
XPA (Extra Pale Ale) is an American classic. A hoppy session ale . . . relatively light and low in alcohol but packed with flavor. Old World English malts are paired with new American hop varieties, resulting in a superbly drinkable yet complex brew, ideal for evenings out at the pub or when entertaining at home. This beer has it all – enough hops to satisfy the most serious hophead, but enough malt to achieve a perfect balance. This American Pale Ale is unfiltered and unpasteurized. Alcohol is 5%.

12 oz bottle from beastiefan2k. Pour is a hazy golden yellow, with a nice white head. This is a Pale Ale? Pours like a Saison or a wit, not complaining, just surprised. Aroma of flowers and some sweetness. I also get some biscuit malt in there too. Perhaps a touch of yeastiness also. Flavor is very citrusy, which was a bit of a surprise. I got a real orange citrus start, and a citrus peel finish. The bitter orange peel finish is quite long. In between there was some piney hoppiness as well. Interesting beer. Thinnish palate despite all of the flavors going on. I can’t remember why I put this beer on my want list, but I am glad I did. Thanks Eugene!

Bottle from beastiefan2k: Eugene was so generous that night! Pours a nice cloudy yellow with a white head. The nose is honeyish and flowery. Light body with a simple flavor. Honeyish and lightly sweet upfront with an herbal middle. The finish has a very late rind-like bitterness which is slightly inky. Lacks depth, boring.
