Gold color. Fruity, herbal aromas and flavors of grilled pineapple and mangos, herbs, and flatbreads with a supple, vibrant, finely carbonated, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, medium-length finish with notes of grilled root vegetables and leeks, pepper, cannabis, and oatmeal cookie. An easygoing IPA for burgers and brats.

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.
