Astrolabe Session IPA

Named on honour of the astrological/navigational instrument, Astrolabe Session IPA is a 5% brew from Fosters Falls, Ontario. Produced by Whitewater Brewing Co., Astrolabe comes in 473mL cans and it packs a 60-IBU wallop.


Hazy orange-gold in colour, Astrolabe pours with a layer of snowy white fluff. It has a juicy apricot and mango aroma and a comparable flavour, building to a fairly hefty, dank hops finish.

This flavourful session IPA packs a bunch of flavour into a relatively low alcohol package. I enjoyed my first can of the stuff while glued to the Blue Jays 2019 home opener, and it was a great accompaniment to a fast-paced pitcher’s duel. I’ll definitely buy this beer again—hopefully it continues to be available in Ontario’s state-run liquor stores.

Rating: 8.5 out of 10.
