Unsessionable

Tap to rate

Unsessionable is an imperial IPA at 10.0% ABV and 100 IBU, hopped with six varieties including a large share of Galaxy. Pine, passion fruit and citrus rind show in flavor and aroma, and the finish is dry. The name plays on its looks: it may seem as easy-going as a session beer, but at this strength it is not one. Revolution's advice is to drink it fresh.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with assertive pine and citrus rind—characteristics typical of Galaxy's contribution alongside the five complementary varieties. Passion fruit esters emerge on closer inspection, adding a stone-fruit sweetness that contrasts the resinous backbone. The aromatic profile is clean and hop-forward without yeasty or solvent notes.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with prominent bitterness and piney hop flavor that builds steadily across the mid-palate. Tropical notes of passion fruit weave through the resin and citrus, while the 10% ABV provides underlying warmth without obvious alcohol heat. The finish dries rapidly, leaving a lingering bitter and herbal impression.

◑ Finish

The finish is assertively dry with a sustained bitter and resinous aftertaste that persists cleanly on the palate. No sweetness lingers; the drying sensation invites another sip despite the significant IBU load.

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.
