Our modern British Session is a twist on the classic West Coast flavour profile. Our friends at Santa Monica Brew Works love making big juicy hop bombs and lip smackingly bitter Cali classics, so we combined that into a sessionable 4.5% ABV with some experimental hops (YQH 1320 and HBC 682) and some classics (Simcoe and Nelson Sauvin). The result is a sessionable, but complex, floral fruit salad.

Can from Beer52. This has been brewed and canned at Forest Road and looks like they have changed a Santa Monica recipe. Would be a new brewery for me if re-labelled - I'll wait and see as unsure of rules! Pours a mostly clear gold with white head. Aroma of orange, apricot, pine. Quite a drying beer with some lime, pineapple, grapefruit, pine, grain notes. Fruit salad and resin finish but lacks a punchy bitterness.
