Sour & Specialty Categories

Session Beer

British pub culture, adopted more broadly by the modern craft movement

Roughly under 5%

Typical ABV

Not a flavor category but a strength one: beer brewed intentionally low in alcohol (very roughly under 5% ABV, though the exact threshold is debated) specifically so it can be enjoyed across a longer "session" of drinking without excessive intoxication.

Profile

A strength classification, not a flavor profile — applies across many base styles (e.g. "session IPA").
