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.

Huge shiny offwhite head. Clear still pale copper body. Resiny tropical fruit aroma with wooden notes. Dryish resiny floral tropical fruit taste with wooden notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel, slightly chalky. Dryish-salty resiny tropical fruit aftertaste with gooseberry and sandalwood notes. Very nice, clean, fresh, and highly drinkable. (0.355l can, not sure where from.)

Fra boks (gusher!) på Mi2 Cardinal nov-16: elegant aroma og smak av tropiske frukter og en hel hekk av granskudd. Superlekker og ren smak - den glir raskt ned hos alle. "Fytti grisen den va’ go’e" sa Arne med et fornøyd smil.

355 ml can from Gulating. Practically clear golden body. Nice hoppy aroma, dominated by grapefruit, pine and some tropical fruits. Flavor is light malty as usually with this session IPA’s, lots of hoppy fruits like aroma, pine and decent bitterness. Medium body and OK aftertaste. No big surprises here, pretty straight-forward session IPA. Good balance, easy to drink and very enjoyable.

20.09.2016, 12 oz can @ home:
Big slightly bubbly-creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is mild grassy, leafs, minerals, hay, moss, flowers, lawn, light malts, sap, hops, hints of dried fruits. Taste is slightly dry grassy, leafs, weeds, hay, moss, minerals, light malts, flowers, lawn, paper, bark, hops. Medium bitterness, slightly watery and dry grassy mouthfeel. Very light in every way. On the other hand, it’s refreshing and very easy drinking...

Can. Close to clear in the glass, golden in colour and with an off-white head leaving nice lacing. Very piney and grapefruity aroma, with some orange in the back. Its medium bodied and smooth on the palate, semi sweet, yet with enough bitterness to prevent it from feeling sticky. Mostly piney and grapefruity flavor too, some caramel malts in the back. Long piney finish with some grapefruit and orange zest. Not the most refreshing beer I’ve had, but sure tasteful and sessionable. 160917

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Golden color, clean .the aroma is a bit dank and fruity, but quite deep, with a biscuity touch; nice (7.5). The mouthfeel is very dry but not too weak; biscuity and crackery malts, decent hopping, a bit herbaceous and resiny.
A very good example of the style.
