Brewed in Matakana by Sawmill, X Pale Ale is an extra pale ale with real character. At 4.9% ABV, it strikes the perfect balance between easy-drinking refreshment and bold hop expression. Multi-award-winning and brewed with premium New Zealand and international hops, this beer is clean, modern, and full of flavour—everything you want from a quality pale ale.
Bouquet Punchy and aromatic. Bursting with notes of grapefruit, lime zest, passionfruit, and a touch of pine resin.
Palate Bright and refreshing. Flavours of citrus peel, tropical fruit, and light malt ride a crisp, dry palate with a clean bitterness and smooth finish. Hugely drinkable.
Food Pairing Perfect with fish and chips, fried chicken, nachos, or a classic cheeseburger. Also great with summer salads or a Friday night curry.
Cellaring Best consumed fresh. Store cold and upright for optimal flavour and hop expression.
