Swiftsure Session Ale – what does it mean? In Britain, beers were created with a lower alcohol content so thirsty folks could have a drinking ‘session’ without getting tipsy too quickly. And so it is with Swiftsure Session Ale – 4.5% alcohol.
The bottle label is fabulous – evoking the intensity of racing yachts straining mightily under that bright canvas called a spinnaker and pushing hard for the coveted win. The label’s designer, Andrew Lewis, has captured the moment beautifully.

Hazy amber color with medium head. Nice caramel aroma, dry, with a biscuity hint. Dry mouthfeel; caramel, with a nice character from the yeast/fermentation, and just a bit of character from the hops; well bitter.
More Bitter than India Session Ale. Good.
