Session IPA·Switzerland·4.5% ABV·One of 262 Session IPAs in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Session IPA's hoppy and bitter character. Golden-pale and hop-spicy, with a refreshing, present bitterness over a surprisingly full, malty body for a light beer at 4.5 % ABV. Citra hops meet Vienna, Munich and caramel malt, brewed from an 11.0° Plato wort. Instead of a classic Christmas or winter beer, founder Fabian presented this light IPA in the days before Christmas 2014.
