    First pale ale is not a session IPA........very different animal...

    Second....why you have to reference part of your post?

    Enjoy

    Sunshine Daydream is the winner for me. It's very flavorful and not too light. However, at $10.99/six it's not something I'd have all the time.

    Generally find sessions, watery, lacking in flavor other than lime seltzer. Having said that
    Other Half Forever Ever
    gets the job done. Manages to approach a more well-rounded sweetness level I haven't found elsewhere.

    Lasso by Great Divide is pretty good.

    They're unpleasantly bitter, to get the Abv you lose the balancing malt that supports the bitter. Truly I think they all suck, and you'd get palate fatigue for the Abv relief.

    Rebel Rider was surprisingly good, but like has already been commented, I generally find session IPAs too bitter, not enough malt to balance the hops. If I want to go low abv I'll go with a lager or pale ale.

    I was surprised at how much I liked OB's Pinner Throwback IPA. Trying to get a log for home.

    Carton Boat. Nothing comes close IMO. Its a fantastic hoppy ale that just happens to be 4.2 ABV.

    Does Fortunate Islands count? They call it a Pale Wheat Ale but the IBUs and general hop profile are similar to an IPA. Also had Boat for the first time yesterday and it was pretty good.

    Founders All Day clearly tops for me.

    Gotta respect the breweries that do a solid job with mid 4% as well as mid 14%.

    Maine Beer Co's Pilot 6 was a damn near perfect session. I wish it had distro.

    Pinner, then Go To. I've only had like 8-10 SIPAs though so I'm not too aware of what's what.
