    And there was me thinking it was supposed to be easy to drink beer. What's so difficult?

    I guess other people's interpretation of "non bitter" is different than mine

    Ha true but like I said I am Not a Huge IPA fan so if its bitter its less smooth = less easy to drink Dont get me wrong there are a few IPAs I do enjoy but the bitterness is not my thing Just like starbucks coffee to bitter I like dunkin donuts

    Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro. With the rich creamy head and velvety mouthfeel, i can drink those in record time, mainly because every sip is sweet milk stout perfection. I love my coffee bombs and russian imperials to death, but sometimes you just need a rich stout that won't hit you over the head with the abv or strong flavors.

    Ya I agree about the left hand. Last two I had i drank real fast back to back. Ahhhh. So refreshing. Narwhal even. Try Torpedo for an ipa or Lagunitas. Or enjoy by

    I gotta go local on this one. Revolver Blood and Honey. Clocks in at 7% and an IBU of 20. So tasty!

    SixPoint Hi-Res. Way too easy to kill at 10%. And even at 115 ibu, it's unbelievably smooth and balanced.

    The Yeti is always way easier to drink than they should be ha, so was Mephistopheles for that matter.

    Plenty of non bitter easy drinking 6% or less IPA's out there. They are called Pale Ales.

    Great Divide Colette is sneaky smooth at 7.3 abv. I always plow through a sixer and then remember the concentration later...
