In Session

◎ Appearance

In Session presents a pale golden hue with excellent clarity and bright, translucent character. The head forms with moderate density and displays good retention and lacing. Carbonation is crisp and visible, creating a lively bead throughout the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with vibrant tropical fruit: pineapple and melon dominate, supported by a sweeter citrus note reminiscent of tangerine rather than grapefruit. Pale ale malt provides a subtle biscuity underneath, grounding the bright hop character without adding weight or vinous notes.

◐ Taste

The palate opens clean and light, with tropical fruit flavors carrying into the mid-palate alongside the dry malt base from Carapils and pale ale malt. The bitterness at 30 IBU is firm and present but never harsh or astringent, providing structure without overwhelming the delicate fruit character.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and short, leaving a crisp, refreshing aftertaste with lingering citrus notes. The bitterness fades quickly, allowing the tropical fruit character to persist as a clean, pleasant memory.

Serve well-chilled. Session IPAs are at their best cold — the lower ABV means less warmth to balance the hops.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
