    I've only had one. It's a new-ish session IPA from Rip Current at 3.8%. It tasted quite good.

    Another vote for Fuller's Chiswick Bitter. So tasty and satisfying, and only 3.8%.

    Beachwood BBQ Alpha Waves packs a ton of hoppy goodness, and also weighs in at 3.8%.

    (Barely missing the cut: the amazing Red Swingline sour IPA from Trinity, at 4.1%.)

    Also: de Garde's Bu Weisse and Cranberry Bu Weisse are both under 3%, and are terrific.

    I'd definitely say Surly Bitter Brewer and Schell's Star of the North too. Jester King's Le Petit Prince Table Beer is also pretty solid.

    Hill Farmstead Walden - so much delicious, hoppy flavor for a 4% blonde ale.

    This. And quite a few Berliner Weisse varieties, naturally.

    Does 4.01% count? Because Ruby Redbird is a surprisingly tasty and refreshing hot weather beer.

    Wachusett Light IPA.....lots of flavor of malts & hops. I prefer it over their regular IPA.

    Too many to decide on a favourite but here's a couple which I can never resist when I see them on cask; here's Belvoir brewery's Dark Horse which is simply amazing for a 3.4% ABV beer. I'd already had a decent couple of swigs from the glass before they topped it up.

    And from the same stable, Belvoir Star , a traditional bitter which goes down singing hymns at 3.9% ABV

    Notice the lacing; impressive as this was about the last pint from the cask.

    Used to always enjoy Banks's Dark Mild & their original. I truly do miss UK ales :slight_frown:

    Serendipity
    Monkey Chased the Weasel
    Westbrook Gose
    Spring Fever
    Hottenroth

    All of these are outstanding beers with very little kick (4.0% being the highest). I just had Monkey Chased the Weasel for the first time last night and freaking loved it!

    Dupont Avril
    HotD Little Dogs
    DeGarde Bu Weiss
    Deschutes River Ale

    All awesome and super flavorful while being at or under 4%. I'm always stoked to see these threads, and am stoked that the list of beers I can respond with keeps growing!

    Great input so far!

    And because I started it, here's a few I haven't seen mentioned off the top of my head...(unfortunately all local, I would have mentioned others that aren't local, but they've been posted already)

    Pretty Things Magnifico (3.4%)
    Notch Saison (3.8%)
    Notch Cerne Pivo (4%)
    Notch Session Pils (4.%)
    Notch Tafelbier (2.8%)
    Mayflower Summer Rye (3.8%)
    The Tap Intergalactic Acid (3%)

    Actually, I would like to try the Westbrook Gose, but I don't see it around here...
