Jam Session
NoDa's balanced American pale ale — 5.1% ABV, 31 IBU, malt-forward middle with a citric hop lift over the top. Not chasing Hop Drop's IPA aggression, not sliding into session territory — the sessionable-but-substantial pale in the Charlotte brewery's core. Named for the North Davidson music-and-arts scene the brewery grew up in.
