Pale Ale 5.6 º

Garage Project

Arvo XPA is a vibrant, refreshing American Pale Ale that captures a sunny disposition through its unfiltered, hazy appearance. The grain bill, featuring premium pale and wheat malt, provides a soft, bready foundation for a vivid trio of Australian hops. Galaxy, Eclipse, and Vic Secret drive the sensory profile, delivering a brimful of juicy mandarin citrus and lush tropical fruit notes like passionfruit and pineapple. The aroma is high-intensity and fruit-forward, while the palate remains highly drinkable with a clean, moderate bitterness. This Garage Project offering balances modern hop-forward intensity with a crisp, approachable finish perfect for a relaxing afternoon session.

Appearance. Pale golden color (approx 6 SRM). Unfiltered with a persistent slight haze. Features a moderately large, fluffy white head with excellent retention and delicate lacing.

Aroma. Moderately high hop aroma dominated by juicy mandarin, passionfruit, and pineapple. Underlying notes of pine and citrus resin are present. Low, neutral grainy-sweet maltiness with a hint of bready wheat character. Clean fermentation profile with very low fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of tropical fruit and citrus zest. Hop flavors of mandarin, peach, and pineapple are prominent.
