Bootleg Brewery's XPA is a captivating American IPA that promises to delight the senses. This hazy golden-orange brew pours with a thick, off-white head that slowly dissipates, leaving behind intricate lacing on the glass. The aroma is a vibrant and aromatic bouquet, dominated by notes of tropical fruit, citrus, and pine resin. Hints of passionfruit, pineapple, and lime mingle with earthy and herbaceous aromas, creating a captivating and inviting profile. On the palate, the XPA delivers a harmonious balance of sweetness and bitterness. The tropical fruit and citrus notes explode in the mouth, complemented by a subtle caramel maltiness. The hops provide a pronounced but well-integrated bitterness, with resinous and piney flavors adding depth and complexity to the overall experience. The medium-bodied and well-attenuated nature of the beer provides a crisp and refreshing finish, with a moderate carbonation that enhances the overall enjoyment.
