When Session Lager was first launched it was viewed by some as the start of the craft lager revolution. Flash forward to today, in that spirit of creativity and innovation, we have evolved Session to be even more crisp and refreshing. It's the best Re-Session ever!

Anyone who likes beer will like Session, it’s a beer that truly crosses boundaries, from blue collar to white, red state to blue, cocktail bar to barbecue. An extremely tasty American craft lager with plenty of flavor that goes down clean and smooth with a refreshing, crisp finish. American and European hops offer a wonderful noble hop aroma, and the two-row barley malt and pilsner malt along with our propriety yeast strain results in a bright, fresh taste profile that is extremely crisp, clean, and crushable.

Over the years, the Session brand has earned top honors at national and international competitions bringing home more than 125 medals including 70 golds. Session has truly earned itself a place at the bar, not to mention the barbecue.

Bottled. Poured a transparent gold with minimal head. A nice grassy taste. Simple but efficient.

Pour is a bright golden with a large white head. Aroma is some syrupy pale malt with not much else. Flavor is again a sweet malt with a clean finish. A bit too sweet for me for a chugging type of lager but worthy of a try.

Bottle - Soft grains. Clear gold with a decent white head. Sweet and malty with only a touch of grains and bitterness. A bit to sweet for me.

Typical pale lager, not much in the way of uniqueness. Good beer but not necessarily anything notable.

From Feb 2008

I got this in a trade with Wasatch. Thanks John!

It pours from 11oz stubby a clear yellow-gold with a small but stubborn head of foam with a bit of lacing.

The smell has a hoppy bitter nose with just a smidgeon of malt.

The taste has some nice hop bitterness up front with a mild but definitely present malt character that smooths out the bitterness nicely. Very easy drinking Lager here! The mouthfeel is darn good for the style and the carbonation is on the high side but again, this is one easy to drink Lager that I'm liking a lot. Thanks again, John!
