some of the more mass produced stuff i could agree with you but in general there are some great new session ales which are basically little brothers of their bigger 7%+ brothers

Just went through my untappd and found a few that you could try

Pirate Life Throwback Session IPA
Little Bang Brewing Little Bling Session IPA
Sierra Tropical Torpedo IPA
Modus Operandi Session IPA
Young Henry's Summer Hop Ale
Stone Brewing Go To IPA
Coopers Session Ale

My boss gave me a tropical last night to try but still haven't tried it. Only had a couple of sessions but they were ultra impressive as they taste close to a Little Creatures Pale Ale which is my favourite.
Ironically I wouldn't like a session of sessions but would definitely enjoy one or two occasionally.
Amazing taste for a 4.2% beer.

Both are good but certainly hop driven for me. Adds a more complex character usually.

Currently trying out Feral Brewings - fox hat. On spesh at Dans so thought id try something different.

Not a bad drop. Well balanced hops and for a summer smasher better than most other lightish beers out there at the same mark of 1.3ish.
