after reading the last couple posts I went and checked on my Untappd account and it says I have tried at least 16 Session IPA. the highest one I have rated is Golden Beach by Sawdust City and Lost in Orbit by Nickel Brook. not a lot of great Session IPA out there but I am looking forward to trying IPA No. 10 :)

The only session IPA that is local that I enjoy is the one at Muddy York. The best I’ve had are the various Lawson’s Super Session iterations.

Tooth and Nail had a decent one too if memory serves. I agree that Golden Beach isn’t bad.

I don’t mind a lighter body, but some are just plain watery.

I love GLB as much as the next guy, but IMO Sunnyside Session IPA is the worst offender in this regard. Almost like negative body. It tastes like Perrier with hop flavouring.

That's the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes it doesn't. She didn't go. That's the way she goes.

Thanks for the update! The Wild Beer Co. Mix Pack sounds more interesting 8) but I think people outside the GTA are going to have problems finding it

That Henderson stout is the best beer I’ve had from them. If it becomes a regular, it could fill a niche like the Clifford Porter for a solid, to style local option.

I’m generally underwhelmed by Silversmith, but am intrigued. By this one.
