Our take on the XPA style beefs up the body (of the beer that is, not you), and uses just a single hop throughout. If you're going for one you might as well make it a good one, so we chose Citra. We haven't hopped it to oblivion, choosing instead to allow the addition of crystal malt to express and balance the assertive bitterness. Of course we did dry hop it generously, so there's plenty of aroma there too!

(Can) Pours clear amber with good white head. Pleasant fruity aroma. Medium body with good bright carbonation. Good taste. Toffee malt backbone with gentle fruitiness at the from and some modest bitterness at the end. Very well balanced, satisfying and quaffable.
