This is the 2nd of 4 label filings we hold from Barrier Brewing Company. It is one of 82 american pale ale labels approved in December 2019. It cleared 12 days after it was filed. The label carries session on the front.
From the label“Label explicitly states 'SWELL SESSIONS - INDIA PALE ALE' with '5.8% alc./vol.' The style designation 'INDIA PALE ALE' is printed directly on the label. However, at 5.8% ABV, this is a session-strength beer. The taxonomy distinguishes session_ipa (≤5% ABV) from american_pale_ale. At 5.8%, this falls slightly above the session threshold but is clearly session-strength positioning. Given the explicit 'INDIA PALE ALE' designation and the 5.8% ABV (marginally above session range), american_pale_ale with session modifier is the most accurate classification. The keg collar format and 'Barrier Brewing Company, LLC, Oceanside, NY 11572' with self-produced branding confirms this is a product label for draft service.”
