This Southern Ontario brewery converted an old cinema in Chatham-Kent into a taproom and brewhouse mid-2017. 8 Track XPA (extra pale ale) drinks like the kid sister of the American-style IPA. Hazy with aromas of canned pineapple, citrus and a hint of fresh spruce, the malt character is muted but leaves a lingering sweetness, allowing the bright fruity and earthy hops to shine. After the swallow there’s a hint of lingering bitterness, but it goes away pretty quickly. A sessionable but juicy and hop-forward ale.
