🌍 Canada · Session IPA · One of 17 Session IPAs in hopIQ

Central City Brewers + Distillers, based in British Columbia, crafted Red Racer Session IPA as an approachable entry into the hoppy beer category. This golden-hued session ale presents bright citrus and pine aromas with a clean, crisp malt backbone that keeps the 40 IBUs in perfect balance. The flavor unfolds with refreshing grapefruit and subtle orange peel notes, finishing dry and effervescent with just enough hop character to satisfy without overwhelming at its modest 4% ABV.

About Session IPA

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Session IPA?

IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.

Finding a similar Session IPA

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Red Racer Session IPA

Serve at 7–10°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

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

Tulip glass
Recommended for this style

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.
