In Beer: Camba 4Sessions

In beer and beer photography, here is some Camba 4Sessions Session Pale Ale beer.


Camba is proper craft beer from Germany, even more craft than Schneider, I think, which is more established and traditional but still good in its own way.


Except this particular variety is a bit on the quiet side by virtue of being a session ale.


Sessions ales in craft beer are typically weaker and blander as they are designed for consumption in large quantities.


Yet still a very tasty beer and doesn't even feel much like a session ale but like a full-flavored craft beer.
