Amber color. Aromas and flavors of grapefruit and tangerine juices, orange chiffon, and fruit cake with a finely carbonated, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a medium-long finish conveying accents of radishes, broccoli rabe, and pepper bread. A very citrusy session IPA with a light body and a bold bitter finish.

About

Session IPA

Session IPA's are lower alcohol, "sessionable" beers with a similar flavor profile and style as American style IPAs. They are deep gold to amber in color and usually fall below 5% in alcohol unlike their boozier counterparts, American style IPAs. They are characterized by floral and citrus hop aromas and a distinctive hop bitterness on the finish.
