KYKAΩ - Session IPA is a balanced but intense combination of light caramel European malts and pungent American hops. This brew is dry hopped with a blend of the most famous American hops (Citra, Chinook, Cascade, Simcoe and Columbus). All those classic American hop varieties that started and still fuel this revolution! Drink it for the whole session and never look back to bland, soulless beers.

Bott from Tesco Extra Abingdon Oxfordshire and consumed at home Thursday 17th December 2020. Pours almost amber with a white head, fruity with a bittersweet balance, a little thin and lacks a crisp bite, hoppiness is apparent but the 4c hops and Simcoe are very subdued.

Bottle from atlasworld, not far from platanias. clear yellow, white head. aroma is us hoppy not that intense, but you're not in doubt us style hops have been used. so mild flowers, pine, grapefruit etc. flavor is dry, mild but still very nicely dry hoppy flavor, juicy, faint dry malty balance a great session ipa, nearly full body flavor, but low abv nevertheless. also quite clean. i do find a little bit of candy or exotic fruits in the aftertaste, which is not that bitter.

Bottle [from Euro Swap 2018-3 thanks to Rouhlas] @ home. Clear dark orange color, huge fizzy foamy white head. Aroma is incredibly hoppy, even more lovely is that's it's not full off (tropical) fruit hops but it has the traditional hops. Lovely. Flavor is similar: in the flavor the traditional hops also prevail over other flavors. The malt base is there but being dominated by the hops. The only thing that annoys me is the (too) high carbonation. Gets in the way of the flavor. Decently bitter, mainly hop bitter finish. Very solid beer. Thanks Nikos!
