The word “session" - in our context of brewing frolics - stems from the British and Irish term, "drinking session", which refers to the consuming of the maximum number of alcoholic units without losing one’s own judgement. We as beer brewers must therefore brew a beer with a lower alcohol content whilst, at the same time, not sacrifice on taste and aroma. Our solution is to make an IPA which adheres to all the usual artistic rules with one exception: using less malt. This reduces the alcohol content but still maintains the same bitterness and fruity aroma of a classic IPA.

On tap at Ardbeg Embassy, Stockholm. Hazy dark golden with a white head. Aroma and taste of hops, passionfruit, some pineapple and light malt. The body was on the light side and the finish bitter. Hoppier than expected. A pleasant one.

Bottled at Katarina Ölkafé, Stockholm. Hazy amber, rich head. Generous aroma of gooseberry and passionfruit. Mid dry with light-medium body and crisp, rounded mouthfeel. Generous almost perfumy tropical fruit hops, slightly fruity and grainy. Long bitter finish. Elegant and distinct. Really well crafted.
