Session Series
The new Session Range from Dark Rock Brewing takes kit brewing to a new level. High quality hopped malt extracts are matched with carefully selected blends of the freshest dry hops, to produce delicious beers with enticing aromas. These kits are simple to make and fast to clear and mature. From fermenter to glass within a month, and results which are of commercial quality. The range follows the best styles from around the world and includes a powerful West Coast APA, which packs a hoppy punch from the latest crop of Citra and Simcoe hops. From down under, there are three carefully selected styles; a New Zealand Pilsner, New Zealand Riwaka Pale Ale, and an Aussie Gold Ale. They are true to the Southern Hemisphere styles. An English Amber Ale and Canadian Craft Ale provide a more traditional amber style, with hops that are true to the malts, to provide a balanced moreish taste. Finally, a newer style, which is set to be a trendsetter is the India Pale Lager. The IPL uses Motueka and Simcoe hops to produce a hybrid style which is a cross between a lager and IPA. The result is a refreshing lager with a delicate hoppy taste and aroma. Perfect for summer barbeques and to compliment curry evenings. These kits are dead easy to make and produce beer as good as you can buy in a pub for around 40p per pint. With value like that, what’s not to like.

3 reviews for Dark Rock Session Series Hoppy Days IPA
I brewed this with the Dark Rock Pale Ale Enhancer which has resulted in an incredibly smooth and subtle beer.
It has a mild citrus smell and a bitter first taste that gives way to a mellow aftertaste that had me reaching for another sip.
I can imagine this being excellent served cold on a warm day and will definitely be ordering it again
First Dark Rock kit I tried and Wow! Perfect. Only been in keg 5 days and it is fantastic
Another great kit from DR, lovely easy drinking hoppy beer
