Session IPAs, also known as low-gravity IPAs, are characterized by their low alcohol content, usually falling somewhere between 3.2% and 5%. Despite the low ABV, however, these brews don’t lack in flavor or aroma. With generous helpings of hops, these beers have unique aromas and flavors of citrus, tropical fruit, pine, and herbal notes. Typically lacking in maltiness and body, they are bright and refreshing, perfect for an extended drinking session.
The light-bodied characteristics of these beers make them a much lower-calorie alternative to some of the more malty styles. And of course, the lower alcohol content makes it easier to have a few extra pints without becoming overly intoxicated. This reduces your chances of making a mess of yourself at happy hour, as well as the following day’s hangover.
Additionally, the low ABV of session IPAs is a great way to sample the variety that the craft beer world has to offer. With so many different styles to choose from, it can be hard to taste them all without opting for smaller sizes or designated driver. A session IPA allows you to sample a wide range of styles without sacrificing the beer’s flavor and aroma.
In short, session IPAs offer all the great flavors and aromas of their stronger brethren, all while providing an easy drinking experience. This makes them perfect for the hot summer days, extended happy hours, or just about any occasion that requires a good beer. So, if you’re looking for a delicious and easy drinking craft beer, be sure to give session IPAs a try. You won’t regret it.
