Societe Brewing Co.’s The Coachman “really small IPA”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From the Beer Writer: <\/strong>There are many session India pale ales\u2014IPAs coming in lower on the alcohol-by-volume scale than their typically 6-to-8% ABV forebears\u2014on the market these days. And many leave a lot to be desired where depth of flavor is concerned. Some merely taste like hop-infused water, but Societe Brewing Co.<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s The Coachman<\/strong> offers layers of flavor. That\u2019s fitting considering one of those tiers is onion-like earthiness that shows up in the aroma along with foresty pine notes. The onion continues to the palate, marrying nicely with flavors of garlic, lemon and spruce. Despite being low in ABV, the beer doesn\u2019t taste or feel watery, yet remains very refreshing. And since Societe has a large tribe of followers regularly draining its kegs, The Coachman isn\u2019t allowed to degrade at the expedited pace of session IPAs. It\u2019s one small beer for man, one giant leap for session IPA kind!<\/p>\n

From the Brewer: <\/strong>\u201cWe make IPAs\u2026lots of them. The Publican is like an IPA, only small. And The Coachman is also like an IPA, but really <\/em>small. It is in the 4.5% ABV range, so you can drink a couple and still safely drive your coach home. In addition to malted barley, The Coachman contains a hefty load of malted wheat\u2014about 40%–far more malted wheat by percentage than in any other beer we make. It\u2019s intense, but not overly bitter. Hop character comes from Saaz, Simcoe and Mosaic. Some may consider it a \u2018session IPA\u2019 or a \u2018session wheat IPA\u2019, but in the scope of our lineup, it is our \u2018really small IPA\u2019.\u201d\u2014Travis Smith, Brewmaster, Societe Brewing Co.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
