XP Pale Ale
A - pours a nice golden amber with a good white head (which subsided somewhat) with a good view of the bubbles flying up the glass S - a bit of a hop presence followed by malt primarily. Not a ton going on it seems like, but maybe my allergies are acting up right now or something T - sort of a bready flavor initially with hints of hop bitterness and citrus in the finish, more interesting than the smell for sure M - medium bodied with a fair bit of carbonation D - well, this isn't the best APA, but it's not bad. I'm certainly enjoying it right now, and I'll finish the pint I have in front of me with no issues. Not sure I'd buy it again as everything else by Bear Republic I've had I've liked (their IPAs mostly), but enjoyable and I'd certainly recommend to any friends who wanted something enjoyable but not incredibly bold.
