8 Wired Semi Conductor XPA

I haven't had an XPA in a while, I think it's a style that had a big popularity just before NEIPA (Hazy IPA) came along, and then kind of fell under the radar for some reason. 

This was a perfect XPA with a huge hop flavour smooshed into a measly 4.4% ABV, without feeling empty or lacking in any way. A huge bitterness with decent aroma, and enough of a malt to feel adequately balanced. Actually tastes like a much bigger beer than it is. Yum!
