The body, in turn, is chewy and rich beyond belief for its weight class. Bright citrus rind and Brazil nut flavors pile on aggressively. Simultaneous hoppy notes of honeydew melon, pineapple, tangerine, and even something like habanero pepper round out this enticing nose.Īfter a few sips, this svelte IPA punches much harder than expected with powerful, resinous kettle hops. Vanilla cake, freshly-baked honey rolls, and dusted French bread bring out the malty aromas. On the bottom of the can is an easy-to-read packaging date of 8/8/19, which places it at around 3 weeks old at the time of review. Into my glass, Super Session #7 is slightly hazy golden in color with thick, cream-colored foam that sticks around for several minutes before collapsing. I’m reviewing Lawson’s Super Session #7 from a 12oz can that I picked up from Lawson’s directly as a 6-pack. Can we give Lawson’s some kind of award for not using the words “beer,” “brewing”, or “brewery” in their name? Bravo. And two others, Super Session #2 (Amarillo hops) and Super Session #8 (Mosaic) are in RateBeer’s Top 50 for the category.Īnd one last item of note. Back in 2013, I raved about their 3.8% Spring Fever Session IPA. Going back through some old reviews, it turns out Lawson’s has been excelling at this niche style for quite some time. In addition to the main tasting room with high ceilings, a stonework fireplace, and exposed wood rafters they have a gift shop with a color-coordinated beer fridge where you can grab cans to go. This new facility just celebrated its first anniversary. Now, they have a state-of-the-art, absolutely gorgeous brewhouse that is a sight to behold. On my previous Vermont beer trip, Lawson’s didn’t have much of a tasting room to visit. I recently returned from a trip to Vermont that included a pilgrimage up to Lawson’s Finest Liquids (Waitsfield, VT).

Lawson’s Finest Liquids – Lawson’s Finest Super Session #7 Idaho 7 IPA – 12oz can served in stemless snifter – 4.8% ABV Super Session #7 is brewed with copious amounts of Idaho 7 hops and has tasting notes of apricot, orange and black tea. Each beer in our Super Session series is brewed with the same malt base and specialty malts but features a different single-hop variety.

Official description: Super Session #7 is designed to be a light and refreshing beer with low alcohol, yet the full hop character of a Session IPA.
