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.

Bottle. (RBNAG 07) A bit unclear, golden body with white head. Weak, but pleasant aroma with hops and some supporting sweetness. Nice, fruity, bitter flavor finishing piney, fruity and bitter. Medium to full body. A nice, hop-dominated session beer. I like it. (071103)

hopdog (6943) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 25, 2007
12oz bottle acquired in trade with ppoitras (thanks!). Poured a medium and cloudy orange color with an average sized white head. Aromas of citrus, caramel, some yeast and fruity. Tastes of citrus, some caramel, a little bready with a light spicey finish. Some lacing left on the glass. Would make a nice session beer if this was available locally.

JoeMcPhee (6835) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 2, 2006
12 oz bottle. Very, very pale golden. Aroma is quite earthy and spicy with orange marmalade notes over the top. Quite fresh-smelling. Flavour is lightly bready with a sweet spicy orangey hop flavour. Some softly floral character and a bit of minerally flavour throughout. Easy-drinking sessionable ale. Not a great deal of complexity, but it’s still pretty nice when you just need a pint.

CaptainCougar (6749) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - SEP 19, 2007
Bottle: Pours a clear deep golden with a thin, wispy white head. Aroma of lightly sweet pale malt and some fresh grapefruity hops. Body starts with nice light malty sweetness and some crisp hoppy balance. Finishes smooth, balanced and bittersweet. A nice APA.
