Jibe bottles should be out by next spring, and I can't wait to try it again. But when I returned to the beer, that lovely hop balance had diminished, and when I tried it a third time, I was drinking full-on mediocrity. My first taste of this beer was astounding, and I had considered it for the top spot.

(Available: year-round in 12-ounce bottles.)ĩ. While "too light" is a funny thing to say about a session beer, everything above DayTime on this list has a bit more going on. ![]() But a touch too light and inching toward beer juice territory. DayTime (Lagunitas Brewing Co., 4.65 percent ) Satisfyingly bitter and bright, with a nice trace of fruity tropicality at the finish. (Available: year-round in 12-ounce bottles.)Ĩ. An easy drinking and pleasurable surprise. Backyard IPA (Saugatuck Brewing Co., 4.5 percent ) An impressive showing from little Saugatuck Brewing with this refreshing and piney-bitter snap of a beer.
