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 fl. oz bottle, thanks to BA richgo6. Hazy golden colour, decent and lasting head. Hoppy aroma, notes of marmelade too, hints of yeast. Spritzy mouthfeel. Spicy flavour with some less pleasant hints of stale marmelade, hoppy bitter finish and aftertaste. Not great, not bad, quite interesting.

Well I thought this stuff was pretty good. They had a rep from the brewery at Town & Country and he asked if I wanted a try. Well I said yes, bought a six-pack and got a free glass. Good deal... Anyway it has a light golden color and a malty/fruity smell. Taste is of malt and finishes with a bit of fruitiness. Overall it kind of reminds me of the BBC Steel Rail Ale which I also like a lot and nobody else does...

Hazy gold color with massive white head. Watery nose with the faintest citrus hop aroma. Faint malt character with light citrus hops in the body with a mildly bitter finish. T

Well, the guy at the beer store said this one,"was kind of a dark beer." I don’t usually trust the beer store guys, but I decided to take his word for it tonight. Well, I was drunk when I bought the beer, so it is no excuse because I should have realized that it was a pale ale...duh!@ Anyway, the beer isn’t bad, it has a malty aroma and reminds me of a "poor man’s Sam Adams." The Pats better win tonight, because the beer is just mediocre.

Cloudy deep golden in colow with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malt and oranges. Sweet malty flavor with some citrus,mild spice and acidity. Lingering dry,hoppy finish.

Got a single at John’s. The pour was hazy and medium gold with a white head. The aroma was typical with grapefruit, apricots and some peanuts. The taste had grapefruit rind and some hints of dry grass. A smooth palate.

Well, I haven’t been impressed by any of the High and Mighty lineup. This one pours to a hazy golden straw colored body with a thin creamy white head. Nice lacing. The aroma is candied pineapple with some light mango and subtle grains. The flavor is candied pineapple, grassy and floral hops that are lightly chalky, and grains. The palate is tart and over-carbonated with some chalkiness.

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.
