What's your favorite Session IPA?

Odell Loose Leaf is perfect on a hot day.

 

Maine Beer Co. Hop Program - Beer II is my new favorite, even though it's going to be impossible to find going forward.

 

Can't get it in Arkansas, but I would happily drink FW Easy Jack all summer.

 

NONE!!!!
Can't stand Oxymorons!

 

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale 5.6%, Oskar Blues Pinner 4.9% and Luponic Distortion 5.9%

Super Session #2 at 4.8% gets an honorable mention. Great beer but not easy to get your hands on..

Those are all fine quaffable beers and especially good in cans for your session!

 

I haven't had it yet, but the 6.5% Session IPA from this new brewery will be my favorite : http://www.spokane7.com/blog/2016/apr/20/post-positioned/

 

How can a 6.5% ABV beer be a session anything ? That's full strength for a genuine IPA.

 

how is it any different than all these people mentioning things over 5%. If they are ok this dudes ok

 

Saranac Gen IV

you can session anything if you believe in yourself

 

I'm not a huge fan of the style, but I like easy jack when I want a lower abv IPA

 

Although technically a blonde...the hop character is hugeee, and it is a session. So I'm going with Baby G

Abita Big Easy was decent.

 

A session beer is one I can drink as much as I like without making a fool of myself.

 

Mine is Bine Climber by Keegan Ales. They are out of Kingston, NY. It's a session IPA with an IPA hop punch.

 

Session refers to the beer not the drinker. Basically the sort of beer which can be drunk throughout a whole pub session. Before 1988 pubs had restricted open hours (believe it or not a WW1 measure ! ) , pubs had two sessions a day , lunchtime from say 10.30 till 2.30 and evening 5.30 till 10.30. Oh , those dreaded words "Time gentlemen please" when you had to drink up and leave.
As in industry standard it's only used to describe beers below 4% ABV for obvious reasons.

 

Time Please, yeah, Julia Sawalha plays the barmaid.

 

technically not an IPA but Whirlpool from Nightshift gets my vote
