Nort Tropical XPA

Not a fan of beer til I tried this. Love its light tang

Nice and hoppy xpa that goes down very easily on a sunny afternoon. And, incredibly low in carbs! My favourite non-alc beer by far!

This along with all the other Nort Beers, is great

Out of every NA beer, this one was easily the best (and I tested them all side-by-side). It is significantly less "beery" than other beers, therefore makes for a very refreshing and mildly bitter fizzy, great for those who are not fans of beer. If you just want something fizzy with a touch of bitterness, this is the drink for you. If on the other hand you're a huge fan of beer and love that "beer" aroma/taste, then you might want to try something stronger, like the NORT Pacific Ale. If you find the Pacific Ale too weak also, then stick to NA lagers.

If you're the kind of person who craves a fizzy and bitter drink that doesn't taste or smell like "beer", then this is the drink for you!

I've tested many non-alcoholic beers side by side, and almost all of them are disgusting, with strong pungent-fungal flavours (typical of beer), as well as weird floral and malty flavours.

NORTs XPA doesn't have any of that! It's like a sparkling mineral water with a refreshing and mild bitterness. Great for a hot day!

I hope they don't discontinue this drink because it's almost IMPOSSIBLE to find a simple fizzy and bitter drink that doesn't taste like beer or tonic water.

For those people who crave a fizzy drink that is bitter, without the disgusting "beer" taste, this is the best beer! Very mild and refreshing taste. I've tested many non-alcoholic beers side by side. Almost every single beer I tested was too disgusting for me to drink, but the NORTs were very drinkable, with the XPA being the best of the lot. So if you hate that pungent fungal taste, strong florals or malt tastes, then give this a go. It's like a sparkling mineral water with a very mild and pleasant bitterness. Great for a hot day!

I really hope they don't discontinue this drink, because it's almost impossible to find a good fizzy drink that is just "bitter" without tasting like beer or tonic water.

If you're the type of person who hates the taste and smell of beer, I can confirm this is the best one for you! I've tested every single NA beer from local alc shops doing a side by side comparison, and this is the best! There's no pungent "beer" taste or aroma. It's almost like sparkling mineral water with the refreshing bitterness of a grapefruit peel. The other NORTs are also quite drinkable, but this is the best if you hate that typical "beer" taste. Second best would be the Refreshing Ale, then All Day IPA, and Pacific Ale would come last (it has a slight pungent "beer" taste). Some brands of beer can be quite disgusting, with strong pungent-fungal, floral, or malty flavors, but I didn't get anything like that from this drink. Excellent drink for those who simply want a fizzy bitter drink that doesn't taste like beer. Great for a very hot day after a salty meal. On the other hand, people who love that pungent-fungal beer/lager taste will probably not like this and find it a bit flavorless.

would only rate this one 5/10. Lacked flavour and punch

Low in calories but really high in taste, an all time classic and great after mowing the yard!
