Crafted with the perfect balanced bitterness, light gold in colour, aromas of light tropical fruit, citrus and floral notes. Packed with flavour but sessionability is the key.

As just John Boston XPA. Can. Golden amber with a white head that's soon less than a coat. 3- Aroma of vague tropical fruit and citrus - rather boiled lolly like. Sweet with boiled and stewed fruit and bitterness that gradually oozes through. OK but feels heavier than its flavours justify.

330ml can into schooner glass. From BWS, Glen Innes. Golden amber beer, slight haze. swirling tiny bubbles. Solid head head of white foam. Aroma of light malt and fruit, very faint dank hops. Light body, quenching. Finish is lightly bitter and grassy. Fairly standard pale ale. I've given up guessing what an XPA is.
