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. Pacific Northwest hops create an extremely balanced beer with a beautiful straw color. And thanks to you baseball fans, the XPA is the best-selling local craft beer at the Phillies ballpark.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a semi-burnt orange/copper color. Finger’s worth of white foamy head. Messy lace.
The aroma starts off with some sweet orange zest, some lemon peel and then some grassy hops. Caramel and toffee malts play with the balance along with some breadiness.
The flavor leans malty sweet with a nice clean taste upon my tongue. Well balanced in the aftertaste and leads well into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine as it is.
Overall, good American pale ale that I could come back to if given the chance.

12 oz. bottle dated best by 5/17/16 so assumed to be 6 months old. Into a tulip A: Poured mostly clear orange tinted gold with a small tight head. Nice retention and lace. Little carbonation visible. S: Simple malty roast bread smell. Not much else. T: A bit of citrus (orange zest?) is quickly overwhelmed by pine. Well balanced light flavors. M: Light bodied with a slightly resinous short finish. Lightly crisp carbonation. O: Not much to this but certainly not bad. Typical pale ale flavors with nothing overdone. Overall though, underwhelming.

From tap. Pours clear ans golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is light greasy, pine and grapefruit hoppy. Mild fruity, slight herbal. Bitter, light toasted. Medium dry and slight pine to grapefruity hops finish.

12 fl. oz. bottle. Pours a clear, pale yellow with a medium, creamy, short lived off-white head. Grainy aroma with hay, bread and a hint of fruit. Sweet, mild grain flavour with caramel and a dry, slightly sour finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Nothing special.

Drought. Rich yellow with whitish small foamy head, doughy aroma, low carbonation, slightly bitter taste with hoppy flavor, abrupt finish. Not very remarkable.

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.
