21b Specialty IPA.Cider and mead have their own guidelines.https://www.bjcp.org/docs/2015_Guidelines_Cider.pdfhttps://www.bjcp.org/docs/2015_Guidelines_Mead.pdf
Session IPA is like an overhopped APA, which is great if you want to win competitions. A few judges might ding an overhopped APA, but most probably won't.

I would say that a session IPA entered in the Pale Ale category should get hit on lack of maltiness, balance and mouthfeel, IF the judges know what they are doing.
More balanced and drinkable, and less intensely hop-focused and bitter than session-strength American IPAs (aka Session IPAs).Quote
