Jibe Session IPA

The session IPA can be a delightful beer, especially for the hophead who wants to keep their wits about them, while also drinking more than one or two beers. This one has a bold tropical fruit aroma, like passion fruit and guava are being squeezed right below your nose. A hint of caramel just sneaks through to create a very pleasant overall aroma. The color is straw, very bright, with an off-white, thin head that lingers. The flavor is grainy, slightly sweet (with a hint of caramel) and full of hop flavor, with a balanced bitterness. A slight harshness is present, possibly from hops, grains or both. The balance of the flavor leans toward the hops, as a normal American style IPA would be. Moderate carbonation and a medium-low body bring a touch of carbonic bite in the finish. This Session IPA makes for a very good showcase for fruity, American-style hops while delivering a full IPA character in a punchy, low-ABV brew.
