    Just curious what everyone thinks is the most flavorful of the Daytime, All Day, Sidekick, etc type beers is. I've yet to do a full on throw down.

    Schlafly Session IPA Can Series is a fantastic, low ABV (4.5%) IPA. In the St. Louis area, it's only $6.99 per six pack compared to $10.99 for Founder's All Day, and it's a very comparable taste.

    I really enjoy All Day, but I prefer Summits Unchained Organic Ale.

    I completely agree with this. Hop session from Brau Brothers was pretty damn good too, at least the first batch. Heard the second or later batch had some carbonation issues if I remember correctly.

    Give Tyranena Bitter Woman a try (5.75), but make sure it is under 2 months old. Hops seem to fade quickly on this one.

    I enjoy All Day myself. Great taste and low ABV makes its a very good session brew for the summer.

    Shouldn't this thread be titled: Most flavorful pale ale? I mean isn't it really just a marketing tool to call an APA an sessionable IPA so that it will sell better?

    Those of us smart enough to get our kids to mow the lawn for us love it. I sit back and crack a nice DIPA and watch the slave, I mean spawn, work.
