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.

5.1
Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 5 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5.5

Location: 12 oz bottle from Gilly's, 3/9/10

Aroma: Apple/pear fruitiness, some toffee, caramel, pine, bread, and buttery notes
Appearance: Has a clear apple juice look, and a tiny head leaving light lace
Flavor: Taste is sweet/tart apples along with some earthy hop bitterness
Palate: Light bodied, somewhat thin, and a lot of carbonation
Overall Impression: A decent, but unexciting, Pale Ale. Call this one slightly below average. There really isn't a ton more to say here...

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy golden-amber color with a small white head that faded quickly. The aroma was sour, tangy, tarty and had a note of Sweettart candies. The flavor was tangy, tart and had a touch of citrus. There was a light yeasty undertone and a short, crisp and tart finish. Ok.

Small beige head...color--golden leaning more towards the orange side...smells a little sweet with caramel aromas mixed with honey...in the mouth...a silky feel, followed by a quick bitterness, then evens out...flavor is sour yeast and bitters...also has an orange rind flavor to it...aroma and mouth feel make this beer appealing

Pours a light gold with a rather small and unfizzy head. Aroma is light and a little bready. Taste is kind of bready with a very mild hoppiness and a very mild sweetness. A beer that you can either take or leave. Smooth though.

Golden ale with a thin white head. Light caramle malt aroma. In mouth, a crisp malt with herbal hops, with strong diacetyl finish. Medium bodied. Mondial 2006.

Golden-amber; slightly musty aroma with English hops, pear and light caramel. Slightly buttery palate, with a touch of tangerine. Surprisingly lifeless - I normally dig this brewery's stuff.

Nice colour to the beer of a golden colour with very slight orange highlights. A nice head of off-white colour which fades fast. The smell is somewhat hoppy and somewhat sweet. The taste is very sweet with a slight amount of hoppiness. The malt and hops are balanced well in this beer...it is fairly easy to drink. The sweetness is large and noticable, especially in the aftertaste, when the hops usually take the cue. An all around good APA beer which you should try if available.

Strangely pilsnerish to me. Esp reminiscent of Sam Adam's Golden Pilsner. Punchily bitter in an unpleasant way, with little detectable hop flavor. Harsh hop aroma. Unbalanced bitterness masks malt and any hop flavoring. Very pale (as per named) yellow ale, with slight head and med carb.
