Can, as This is our XPA at 4.8% ABV. Slightly hazy gold with a fading white head. Citrus aroma - pink grapefruit, mandarin - with light breadcrust. A taste shows some peach and passionfruit notes too. Sweet & clean, no particular malt character. Bitterness is moderate but decisive enough. Refreshing.

Pint on tap at Pyrmont Bridge Hotel. Another XPA, whatever that is. This one is a hazy Amber beer with a thin white foamy head. Nose is sweet, caramel and butterscotch sweet. Carbonation is high and fine. Fizzy and surprisingly light body. That caramel butterscotch thing carries right through to the end when a little hoppy fruit bitterness appears for some balance. Hard to classify, not hard to drink.
