Bottle from Tanakaya. Clear straw with a finger of foam that lingers. Serious nose with a nice mix of dank, tropical fruit and citrus that just never goes away. Light and crisp crackery malts on the palate with average carbonation. Lightly bitter on the palate with white grapefruit, lemon and more mango and guava. Seriously well done Session IPL and only 4.4. This is what a summer session beer should be. --- Beer merged from original tick of Session IPL on 27 Mar 2016 at 18:55 - Score: 8.

Pours a clear and pale yellow color, topped with a rather small white head, quickly settling. Sweet fruity hop aroma, easy to pick up, with some citruses present. Moderately bittery, just a hint of sweet fruity notes. Some spicy feel in the finish. Light body, nice IPAish aroma with lager taste and body.
