ABV: 3.9% IBU: - Ticks: 9
Talking with Parra about creating a beer together we decided on doing a Session I.P.A. The idea was to create a hoppy aromatic and bitter beer below 4% ABV. We used a couple of caramelized malts and a bit of oatsto balance the bitterness with some sweetness of these malts. Late and dryhopped with Cascade, Chinook, Columbus and Huell Melon

Bottle @ home. Hazy dark amber color, full sized white to off-white head. Huge ugly chunks of yeast floating at the bottom of my glass. Aroma is lovely hoppy and fruity hoppy. Taste lightly malts, hops, tropical fruits, fruit hop, fruity bitter. Everything a session IPA should be imo. Delicious stuff! Oh and also: quite a nice body for a beer of just 3.9% ABV!

0.33 l bottle from ’De Bierkoning’, bottled in March 2016. Clear, brownish amber with a massive, dense, stable, off-white head. Sweetish, fruity and moderately resiny aroma of orange jam, mango, strawberries, some honey and pine. Sweetish, slightly fruity and moderately resiny taste of orange jam, mango, some strawberries, a bit of pine and hints of honey, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, rather resiny finish. Medium body, rather effervescent mouthfeel, lively carbonation. Nice one, good body for that abv, actually a bit on the malty side.
