Kicking back and relaxing with a session beer requires little more than a couch, some free time, and a few pals. Slow Ride Session IPA is up for this easy-going challenge, starting with a pour of sheened gold and plenty of fluffy, white foam. A blend of seven hop varieties, led by exotic Mosaic and Nelson Sauvin, twist together brilliant tropical scents of melon, peach, lime and grapefruit for a vividly fruity aroma. The flavor mirrors the aroma, while balancing a malty-sweet yet clean start and hoppy bitterness in the back. Light bodied and extra quaffable, Slow Ride Session IPA brings the finish line to you.

Clear golden pour from bottle. Big fruit aroma up front. Tailing into a dry finish. Very nice.

Can. Amber color with a large head. Aroma was light grapefruit and pine. Taste was slightly sweet upfront, grapefruit in the middle with a light bitter finish.

Can 33 cl. Orange, cloudy with a medium white head. Lots of hops aroma with some citrus sense. Medium bitterness with a dry hop end. Not bad for a 4,5.

Godlen with a white head - Good hop aroma with citrus and some herbal tones - Malt body to support a good hop flavour with fruity and herbal notes with some bitterness - The hop goes into the finish - This was nice

Lett tåkete lys brun med høyt offwhite skum. En pepperig, ingefæraktig lukt, noe sitrus og høy. Middels minus i fylde. Lett sitrussødme. Lett bitterhet, sitrusskall og barnål som varer middeøs lenge.

355ml can bought at Eide Handel. Snow white head with fine duration and good lacing. A slight haze to a yellow-gold body. Peachy nose, hints of dough. Quite fresh fruit hoppy taste of peaches and grass. Moments of citrus peels to the ending. Medium bodied. Pretty alright (Tromsø 16.01.2017).
