Lighter Shade of Pale

Sierra Nevada Beer Camp batch #46 is an interesting brew, although every brew out of the camp is.  This batch was a session-version of the Pale Ale named Lighter Shade of Pale with a 4.2% ABV.  A session beer is a brew that is relatively low in alcohol content usually somewhere from 3% ABV right up to 5% ABV.  These brews allow the craft drinker to drink plenty of them before getting too drunk and the drinker usually sticks with or "sessions" the same beer all day/night.  A lower ABV to the current Sierra Nevada Pale Ale which is at 5.6% is sometimes welcomed by craft drinker who typically enjoys beer so much that its sometimes necessary to drink many hours in a row.  Don't expect to see this beer just yet besides at special events and festivals.
