Session Beer

-This category includes any style of beer made lower in strength than described in the classic style guidelines. These beers should exhibit lower alcohol content than the classic style.

-Drinkability is key to a successful session beer. – not a “one and you are done” beer

-Beers exceeding 5.0% abv are not categorized as Session Beers. Usually lighter in color

-Beara Brewing Co. – had higher ABV beers - brewed a Session Beer called Citra Wit – wheat beer made with Citra Hops – 4.8%

-Color: The color should mimic the classic style upon which the beer is based

-Clarity: Appearance may vary from brilliant to hazy to cloudy and should mimic the classic style upon which the beer is based

-Aroma – According to style

-Hop Aroma and Flavor and Bitterness - IBU 10-35 – not overwhelming

-Body: According to style

-ABV: 3.7%-5.0%

-Glassware: Depends on style

Session India Pale Ale

-Another category for Session Beer – sometimes so many that separate category has to be created

-Perceived Hop Aroma & Flavor: Hop aroma and flavor are medium to high and can display qualities from a wide variety of hops from all over the world. Overall hop character is assertive.

-Perceived Bitterness: Medium to high (IBU) 40-55

Highway 128 Session Series: Blood Orange Gose
Anderson Valley Brewing Co - Boonville, CA

ABV – 4.2%

Notes / Commercial Description:
Our Blood Orange Gose is a tart, refreshing wheat ale that is kettle-soured with lactobacillus and brewed with sea salt and coriander. However, unlike traditional versions of the style, ours features liberal additions of blood oranges during fermentation. This imparts tangy citrus notes that complement the champagne-like flavors, creating a complex and sessionable ale perfect for any occasion.

Easy Jack Session IPA
Firestone Walker Brewing Co. - Paso Robles, CA

ABV - 4.5%

Brewmaster Matt Brynildson went to the mountain and returned with a vision for a different kind of Session IPA, one that would be brewed and dry hopped with a globetrotting selection of new hop varieties from Europe, New Zealand and North America. He foresaw a beer that would deliver massive hop aromas, a signature malt balance and an empty glass before you knew what hit you. And so the newest member of our Jack IPA family was born.
