XPA Harvest Ale, an American Pale Ale by Maritime Pacific Brewing Company.
On tap, served in 21 ounce tankard.
5.5% abv.
---
The pour is a clear orange body capped with a finger-thick white head.
The nose is a bit of butterscotch and caramel and viney bitterness.
The tongue is hoppy, viney bitterness and citrus peel, with butterscotch/caramel malts in the background.
The mouthfeel is thick. The flavors are crisp and clean.
This is somewhere between a pale ale and an IPA, but the fresh hops and beautiful bitterness lean it more toward IPA for me.
Excellent!
