Shepherd Neame has unveiled New World XPA, the third in the brewer’s new small-batch range of limited edition, craft keg beers.

Shepherd Neame XPA

Hazy golden, the New World-style extra pale ale uses Cascade, Centennial, Citra, and Nugget hops from the US, which provide bold citrus and tropical flavours, along with a touch of spice.

The first of the small-batch brews was First Drop session IPA (4.3% ABV), released in October, which has now become a permanent addition to Shepherd Neame’s portfolio, and Unfiltered Pilsner (4.4% ABV), unveiled in April.

“Our team are really enjoying being able to experiment with new styles and flavours in the new small-batch brewery,” said director of brewing, Mike Unsworth.

“We are incredibly proud of our latest creation, New World XPA, a punchy pale ale crafted to appeal to drinkers who enjoy a hop-forward pint.

“Customers have given us great feedback on the beers created in our small-batch brewery so far, and we look forward to continuing to use the kit to develop more great beers and showcase our brewing skills.”
