Five Barrel Pacific Peak XPA

XPAs are a relatively new style in the craft beer scene. They’re typically lighter than a Pale Ale, but with a similar level of hop character. Five Barrel’s XPA uses a blend of New World and Old World hops to create a sense of familiarity, with a lovely interplay of tropical fruit and spicy, pithy bitterness. The malt profile is light and semi-dry, adding just enough sweetness to keep everything balanced.
