India pale ales: They’re the darling of American craft brewers from coast to coast, a huge celebration of hops and malt that can seem to go on forever. And these days there’s no shortage of high-octane brews, with most IPAs starting at 6.5 percent ABV and ranging upwards into the double digits for double IPAs.
But a handful of breweries have started taking the pleasant complexity that hops bring to a beer and utilizing it in lower-proof, sessionable ales. Monday Night Brewing’s Lay Low IPA is one of the finest of those low-alcohol IPAs, clocking in at just 3.2 percent ABV but still boasting a pleasant bitterness and floral, spicy aroma. Think of it like a light beer gone metropolitan, made more interesting while still being just as friendly as ever.
