WHERE\u2019S IT FROM?<\/p>\n

WHAT\u2019S SO SPECIAL ABOUT IT?<\/p>\n
Discovering your newest craft beer flavour this summer just got as simple as popping down to the shops.<\/p>\n
And with the cost of living remaining stubbornly high \u2014 including craft beer, where a quality four-pack can easily set you back $20 to $30 \u2014 the price of $13.99 for a six-pack is just right also.<\/p>\n
Retail giant Aldi \u2014 that eclectic supermarket where you can pick up anything from snow gear to gardening equipment to vinyl records \u2014 has teamed up with NSW-based independent brewer Hawke\u2019s Brewing Co. to deliver its award-winning XPA recipe previously only available on tap in a can.<\/p>\n
Hawke\u2019s Tropicaldi XPA is an easy-drinking tropical pale ale bursting with pear, orange and stone fruit aromas, which the brewers say makes it perfect for barbecues, trips to the beach or just chill days beating the summer heat.<\/p>\n
It pours a pale gold in colour with just a slight haze and a light frothy head.<\/p>\n
When you crack the tinnie, those tropical aromas are immediately prominent.<\/p>\n

That first sip allows the fresh fruit flavour to settle on the palate, with a low resinous bitterness that makes it easy to drink. There\u2019s a fruity sweetness throughout before finishing with a refreshing, easy-drinking crispness.<\/p>\n
The first release sold out quickly but the next batch is set to drop in early February with a third release planned for April.<\/p>\n
Easy to drink and, at $2.33 a can for an AIBIA gold medal-winning recipe, easy on the wallet.<\/p>\n
SHOULD I SHARE IT?<\/p>\n
With an ABV of 4 per cent, it\u2019s ideal for sharing with mates on a hot summer\u2019s day but also perfectly sessionable at home on the couch when you get back from the shops.<\/p>\n
