This recipe would have been designed to be consistent with the 2021 BJCP Style guide, but there isn’t one for an Extra Pale Ale (XPA). Never fear though, Jamie McQuillan from Cell Division designed this recipe drawing on plenty of the good examples he has tried on his beer drinking and brewing journey long before he turned all funky on us!
XPA’s fall loosely under the category of American Pale Ale 18A, but expect an extra pale beer with a stripped back malt backbone allowing the hops to shine. Less bitter than an IPA, but somewhat akin to an IPA with a leaner malt backbone. An easy drinking hoppy summer crusher. Sounds a bit like a NZ Pilsner right? Well, how about a NZ XPA?
Jamie thought this would be the perfect vehicle for an extra special recent delivery of Kohia from Freestyle Hops. Kohia is their latest botanical blend combining Nelson Sauvin and Rakau with dried NZ passionfruit. This all adds up to a delicious, power-charged NZ XPA. It could be the next big thing!
