The Session IPA is the perfect choice if you want a low-alcohol beer but rich in hop aromas: fruity scents, smooth drinking, and great drinkability.

Maintains the aromatic and bitter character of a traditional IPA but with reduced strength. The term "session" comes from the idea of long pub sessions where you drink several pints without getting heavy. The Session IPA is a modern evolution: intense aroma, low ABV.
