A hazy translucent amber beer with a thin white head. Light pineapple nose, patchy lacing. Zingy on the tongue with sweet fruit, like a fruit tingle. Refreshing with a balancing bitterness in the finish. Very nice but another disparate piece in the 'What is an XPA?' jigsaw puzzle.

At the brewery. Part of (my wife's) tasting paddle. pours a dark brown with a thin head of crema. Nose is dark cocoa and subtle caramel, nice lacing. Very easy to drink, minimal carbonation. Touches of bitter chocolate in the finish. A nice drinkable example of a dark ale style that is peculiar to NSW.

Pint on tap at The Charming Squire, Brisbane. Pours an opaque light brown. Thin white head. Strong pineapple nose, quite acidic. Nice lacing, Sour, dry, yeasty finish. Light body, watermelon dominates the lingering finish. Very nice sour, quality quencher in the horrible Brisbane humidity.

Schooner on tap at Springfield Tavern. Pale translucent green/grey. A few bubbles cling. Zero head, pleasant sweet ginger nose. Zingy in the mouth, very sweet, easy drinking. Slight cardboard finish, a little bit of ginger burn. Drinkable mid-strength alternative but an absolute rip off ($13).
