The session ales derive their name from the way they used to be consumed: session wise. These sessions often took place in between activities of a more responsible nature. Hence these hoppy ales generally contain no more than 5% alcohol, mostly even less. Despite its low alcohol percentage our India Session Ale is quite a very firm beer. Dry hopped with Chrystal and Nugget it is fresh and it is fruity. Not in the least due to the extra bergamot orange. It is as tasty as it is trendy.

Bottle shared by kermis @ Kermis’ birthday party @ De La Gare, The Hague. Lightly hazy yellow orange color, full sized white head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma is a lot better than the taste imo, pretty nicely hoppy and some fruit hops on the nose while the flavor is less fruity, less hoppy but nicely bitter. Decent body, medium carbonation.
