    Meta Modern from Oasis down here in Texas. Sounds like I need some Carton Boat in my life for this summer.

    Rising Tide Maine Island Trail Ale is absolutely awesome. Give it a shot if you can get your hands on it.

    I'll go with Sunshine Daydream as well. Citra Session from Green Flash was pretty solid as well.

    You forgot to mention that it's in 16oz cans! Good stuff, had my first last week.

    Pinner and Easy Jack. Pinner wins by a little bit. So damn light and so damn tasty. The perfect summer boat beer.

    21st Ammendment Down to Earth or Firestone Easy Jack. Both delicious with all the hop character of an IPA without the watered-down taste you get with some Session IPA's out there

    A few have mentioned it but I have a tough time finding a better session beer than Carton Boat (also a +1 for Otter Creek Over Easy).

    A week ago I'd have easily said carton boat as best hoppy session, but then I met night shift whirlpool this past week and brought home a case. I need to do a side by side to pick my favorite between the two. As far as style is concerned I love sessionable beer, but I have to say that these are really just over-hopped pale ales.

    Mine was a toss-up between Sunshine Daydream and All Day, my in-laws were just in St. Louis and brought me a 6'er of 4 Hands Contact High....changed my opinion on flavor as far as session beers go

    I have been drinking some Cross Bones from heavy seas lately. Sunshine Daydream and Go To are both solid as well.

    A lot of the listings on this forum don't appear to be session IPA's. Just sayin'....
