La Sagra Session IPA

Tap to rate

Session IPA is La Sagra's spring seasonal, brewed again each year. Several hop varieties go into the recipe, and dry hopping lifts the aroma at a modest 4.5 percent. It pours a bright, intense gold. The nose is hoppy and floral, with stone fruit, citrus and a tropical note. The body is light, the hop flavour stays pronounced, and a clean bitterness leads into a short, refreshing and dry finish. The label shows the Parque de la Vega, the green space at the gates of Toledo's old town.

◐ Taste

A light, crisp body allows the hop flavour to remain prominent throughout the palate. The bitterness is clean and measured at 40 IBU, complementing rather than dominating, with a lean maltiness that keeps the beer balanced and drinkable.

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

Tulip glass

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

Drink fresh. Session IPAs are brewed to be consumed young — the hops are at their best now.
