Sure, you’ll find examples overseas but XPAs tend to dominate Australia’s beer scene and drinkers can't quite seem to get enough of them thanks to the way they combine a whole lot of hops with a lean malt beer.
For Beer Republic, they utilise Amarillo, Citra and Galaxy to truck in a load of tropical fruit and citrus flavours with a balancing bitterness on the finish.
