BrewDog’s Wingman Session IPA is crafted to provide an easy-drinking experience while still packing a flavour punch. Launched with an ABV of 4.3%, this IPA is specifically designed for those who enjoy the hoppy notes of a traditional IPA but prefer something more sessionable. The beer opens with zesty citrus notes, followed by a delightful biscuit malt base, and finishes with a subtle, fruity touch, making it highly drinkable over extended periods.
