The session beer trend is one that we wholeheartedly support, and in keeping with yesterday’s informally-designated “Session Beer Day," we wanted to share the four new session IPAs we opened to toast the anniversary of the repeal of prohibition.
Stone Brewing Co. Go To IPA
“A Vibrant Hop-Bursted Session IPA”
Go To IPA has aroma for days, and the first thing you’ll notice when opening one is the olfactory assault from the late-addition hops. It’s stunning, unexpected, and absolutely delivers a hefty dose of tropical hop goodness in the nose. On the tongue, the body is thinner than a traditional IPA (typical for this session style), but hop bitterness is clearly defined and really stands out. Is it a bit unbalanced? Sure, there isn’t much malt to balance the heavy dose of hops, but what do you expect at 4.5% ABV? Go To IPA is thoroughly satisfying not just as a “session” beer, but as beer in general.
