    Two Roads Lil' Heaven is easily my favorite in the style, which is a shame because I pulled some serious strings to score a 1/6 of Lawson's Super Session #2 assuming it'd be mind-blowing like SoS. D'oh!

    While SS#2 it is mighty tasty, Two Roads is definitely the champ here. Tropical hops, always super fresh, a decent body for a <5% ABV beer, and it's always available.

    It's definitely not my favorite style, but I needed a log for the FIL's 50th birthday party and, while he really wanted Captain's Daughter, I didn't think a keg of dangerously drinkable 8.5% beer would have worked out too swiftly.

    Not a huge fan of the Session beers myself, but out of the handful I have had I would have to got with Sunshine Daydream. The All Day IPA just seemed to have an odd after taste to me.

    Fresh Foley Brothers session is fantastic, but i've found it falls off rather quickly.

    Just me being me, and the 50th session IPA thread. Palates are different, they're here because people like them which is cool with me. They're not wrong at all, if you like it drink it, I don't mind a Miller Lite, it's all good.

    Gotta love some hop Hunter, a bit higher abv, but it's still session able if your drinking 8-10% at night

    Lagunitas' session IPA isn't that bad either. Otherwise, meh.

    I've not tried a lot of session IPAs. Lately there's always a few Pinners in my fridge, though, so I'll go with that as my answer.

    If I was going to "session" an IPA, I think I'd go with Two Hearted or Fresh Squeezed. They can call 'em whatever they want.

    Pinner, Even Keel, Easy Jack, Sunshine Daydream and Rainbows and Unicorns have been the best session IPAs I've had lately. Rainbows and Unicorns and Sunshine Daydream may be 2 of the best beers I've had in years!

    Founders All Day or Lagunitas Day Time for something from a store. Cycle Fixie for something local.
