Three Stage XPA

History

A beer in tribute to Ontario’s best and most challenging XC mountain biking trails. This Xtra Pale Ale has as much flavour as the trail. This is a beautiful blonde ale with a whole lot of late whirlpool hops to keep this as aromatic as possible. With a very light malt character this is meant to be a session ale focusing on the great citrusy character of the hops. The beer at the end of a long trail doesn’t have to be as challenging as the trail but, it should be just as rewarding.

Tasting Notes

A light golden colour with a thick white head this beer has a lot of tropical citrus aromas of pineapple, mango, tangerines, oranges, with light pine. There is an earthy malt sweetness along with lingering lemon and tangerine citrus which keeps this beer refreshing and sessionable with a very dry finish and no lingering bitterness. It really cleans the palate.
