Sydney Brewery Oxford XPA

Sydney Brewery's Oxford XPA is all about the hops. It's a beer that brings all the colours of the hop rainbow to the nose and mouth – tropical fruits, citrus, some pine, a hint of flora underneath, and a solid punch of bitterness to boot.

There’s just enough malt to sweeten the body and carry the fruits along, but not so much to distract from the bitter assertiveness.
