Our flagship, original XPA that's been with us since the beginning. Crafted with Canadian 2 row barley malt and Citra, Centennial and Cascade hops, this classic West Coast inspired Extra Pale Ale is bursting with flavour yet it "sessionable" enough to keep you coming back for more.

fluffy white head on a light amber body. The nose hints at gnarly hops and roasted malt. Hops are there but not as fresh or astringent as the nose suggested. The malt is sweet and bready rather than roasted. A lack of distinction in the hop tastes

Can from the lcbo. Hazy orange/yellow pour, with a large sticky white head. Aroma is quite grassy, soft citrus, soft hops, well balanced hop and malt ratio. Thin mouth feel, solid carb. Finish has light melon, and tropical fruit with big resinous grassy notes.

Bought on the strengths of Tiki's and Boyer's review below. Pours a picture perfect brew of cloudy gold with a sheet of tight head. Smells of juicy citrus and resin hops. Taste equally as juicy tropical fruit, reasonably sweet malt base with a touch of resin bitterness to finish. Good brew.

Hazy golden-yellow colour with particles of different sizes, a frothy warm cap, great retention and some patchy lace. Fresh Citra hop aromas with a nice balance between the citrus juices and grassy notes. The taste is a little of the same with milder citrus and grassy hops, almost like oat calms things down. A decent dryness is found in the finish. A pretty nice juicy American Pale Ale... West Coast style.

Can from the LCBO. Cloudy pale amber with a small lingering white head leaving a bit of sparse lace. Nose is bright citrus, lemon rind, grass, honey, melon, mangoe and a light pepper. Flavour follows though not as forward as the nose with a light sweet malt base and a medium bitterness dominated by grapefruit and pineapple. Mouth is medium- with average carbonation and a lingering bitter finish. 8/4/7/3+/15
