XPA

XPAs are brewed with a generous amount of hops, think tropical fruits, citrus and fresh floral aromas, but without the aggressive bitterness of an IPA. They are lighter in body and colour than a traditional pale ale. They’re sessionable without compromising flavour, usually sitting between 4% and 5.5% ABV. Clean, refreshing and endlessly drinkable, XPA is the style that shows you do not need excessive bitterness to make a lasting impression.
