Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of grapefruit and lemon, toasted barley, caramel, and lipton’s sun tea with a round, soft, effervescent, dry medium body and an engaging, medium-to-long finish evoking notes of lemon and grapefruit, orange pith, caramelized wheat, and barley tea and a touch of floral soap. A straight and to the point crushable IPA.

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.
