The XPA style is designed to showcase hops while Brut styles produce a dry beer with little or no malt character. With Bone Dry Brut XPA we combine both these styles to produce a beer which is lighter in colour than a pale ale and very dry, which allows the hops to shine through. This brew uses Nectaron hops which bring intense tropical fruit and citrus aroma. Bone Dry is an easy drinker, dry and crisp, with a noticeable hop experience, and low in carbohydrates compared to other beer styles.
Colour / Appearance: Very light golden
Aroma: Citrus and tropical fruit Flavour: Hop flavor is upfront with citrus and tropical fruit and lingers throughout the experience. The light malt backbone lets the hops shine through. It finishes dry with light to medium hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Very light bodied mouthfeel. Medium high carbonation provides an overall clean finish.
Finish: distinctly clean and dry Hops: Nectaron and Centennial
Food Companions: Great with a wide range of foods. Meat pies, English cheese such as cheddar. Great with light salads and seafood and try it with Bananas Foster for dessert.
Brewer’s Notes: Bone Dry is exemplary of both an XPA with its lighter colour and the Brut style with its noticeable dryness. The hops shine in this beer displaying a wonderful marriage of Nectaron and Centennial to bring tropical notes accentuated with citrus (lime).
