Stewart's Session IPA
Bold hops carry vibrant tropical and citrus fruit through aroma and flavour, yet the beer stays light and crisp. The brewery describes a session IPA as a lower-alcohol take on the classic, typically around 3 to 4.5 % ABV, light enough for a longer drinking session. This one sits at 4.1 % ABV and 25 IBU.
