It's here! Regional powerhouse craft brewer Boulevard just announced their new Pop-Up Session IPA, and yes, it's at 4.2% ABV.
Haven't had this yet -- never been able to get on Boulevard's press samples list -- but it sounds good:
A blend of our base pale, Marris Otter, and amber malts creates a simple, yet adequate malt backbone that allows Mosaic, Cascade, Amarillo, Citra, and Centennial hops to shine with bright, fruity, citrus notes.
Here we go! This is officially a hot category!
Boulevard used to make the ultimate session ale, it was called Tenpenny Ale. It was 3.25% abv. I really liked this beer but alas, they discontinued it around 2000.
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to see it revived. Love to see it on cask.
