Sunday Session Time: AA Session IPA (All American)

Media Release

We have a lot to thank our American Cousins for and at the Australian Brewery the verytop of the list is hop varieties. It has been well over a year since we have done an IPAvariation and we thought it was about time we threw our hat in the ring again with theAA Session IPA.

The mix of American hops gives this brew a traditional American IPAresinous, ‘piney’ flavour combining big citrus and fruit characters typical of the style.

Named after its all American hop bill and medium ABV (4.3%) this beer combines arounded mid-high bitterness (45IBU) with a complex hop character.

Along with thehops in the brew two late dry hop additions ensure an intricate and full mouth feel.

This is a very limited seasonal release available only in draught at all the usual craftbeer suspects in Sydney. These include the Dove & Olive and the KB Hotel in Surry Hillsand the Union Hotel in Newtown. It will also be on tap at the Australian Brewery.

“The beer was brewed in conjunction with some of our favourite Sydney bartenderswho wanted an IPA without the high ABV for after work,” said the Australian Brewery’sBrewer Dan Shaw.

“This also means we can fit one more in after we finish brewing forthe day.”
