    Had me until Pilsner. Pilsners are ass nasty.

    Most range from boring to hop water, but Rudie from Ska is damn good.

    I certainly wouldn't call it a session IPA but it is a very tasty low ABV hoppy pale.

    I do enjoy Sunshine Daydream from Fat Heads from time to time.

    Haven't really liked session IPAs. I'd take a good lager: czech or german pils, or helles for sessionable over the IPAs I've tried. However, I am interested in trying Pinner.

    +1 Fat Heads Sunshine Daydream. Granted I am not a big session fan. But I digress

    I agree, I was following the list the OP provided and those would be the most bearable for me. I definitely would drink any of the styles you listed, they are much more refreshing and have a pleasant taste.

    Don't have many session IPAs here in Quebec.

    Aren't sessions IPAs another form of hoppy pale ales? :wink:

    Yeah man, I'm based up in Gainesville but go down to the Orlando area on occasion. Not so much the SW area towards Celebration and all that (which is where I'm assuming you're headed), but generally I do get down there once in a while.

    You've had every session IPA in the country? I also don't have access to Carton Boat, so I would never mention Carton Boat, since I can't buy Carton Boat.

    Well, he was on the right track with Hill Farmstead.

    Walden remains the best session IPA I’ve ever had. It’s labeled a blonde on here, but I believe it used to be labeled a session IPA. Whatever, it tasted like a regular strength IPA and was 4% abv.

    I think the only one I've ever had that I really liked was the Southern Tier one, whatever it's called. This came as a shock to me, as I don't generally like the style, and Pumking is pretty much the only ST brew that I'm really impressed with.

    From their website

    Walden : A sessionable blonde ale. 4% abv. 40 IBUs. Hopped with Motueka, Amarillo and Simcoe.

    Saying that we can agree Susan and Walden are amazing beers. :stuck_out_tongue:



    Salute!

    Stone Go-To is my favorite, I just wish they canned it. All Day is a great alternative, but it doesn't sell much around here so the 12/15 packs are always out of date.

    The new Otter Creek session IPA is great, along with Two Roads Lil' Heaven.
