When Subtlety Counts

Session beers are my favorite!  Sure, I'm a fan of hops and malt and barrel aging, but the subtle flavors and drinkability of a session beer offer a richer reward to the drinker than palate-numbing hop bombs: perspective. When you drink a hop bomb from an American brewer, (and yes, we do brew our share) you are only left to wonder how many IBU's are in it, and when will this flavor leave my mouth?...
