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.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma is lightly fruity, with resinous hops and some fruitiness. Flavour is likewise fruity for an ISA, with floral hops, resins and berries. Juicy and refreshing. Pretty nice.

On Tap at BitterCreek Alehouse, Boise Clear yellow golden with a faint white head and wispy lacing. Nice fresh up front citrusy hop aroma. More of a woody biter hop bite in the flavor. Still, plenty of character for a session.

Bottle. Pale gold with a rocky, white, head. Grapefruit and green herb notes, with some sweetish malts, grassy hops and dryish finish. A good session beer.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy golden-amber color with a medium sized foamy yellow-white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was perfumey and grassy hops and was a touch sweet. The flavor was bitter catbox, pine and perfume with nothing to back it up. Long finish. Thin body. Not good.
