To me, things like India Pale Lager, Smash IPA and such are just shallow attempts at standing out in a crowd. In this case, I think it is just a cool way to say session ale which are great when you want something a little lighter for a pub session or beery gathering.
Not bad!
Okay gotcha. Yeah that makes sense. There are so many different "styles" of beer now. Half just seem to be made up 😆
