hopIQ found 10 beers with the same spicy and hoppy character as Eschenbräu Session IPA. The Session IPA has been a regular Eschenbräu seasonal since 2021 and returns each year with a reworked recipe; in 2026 it was tapped in March. The brewery calls it the grandson of its O.P.A. pale ale, less angular and built for drinkability. Recent batches use some oat malt and a New England IPA yeast, which leaves a spicy, distinctly top-fermented impression and a fairly hazy beer; the Czech hop Most supplies the aroma over a soft malt base. Brewed from 12.3 °P original gravity to 5.2 % ABV. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
