Session IPA

Category: Session IPA

Date Tasted:
Country: USA

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.
