Easy Drinking 6% + ?

Fresh Squeezed 6.4%
Ayinger Celebrator 6.7%
Senita/Heyoka 7%

 

Several come to mind:
Ska Euphoria
Schlafly Belgian Style Golden Ale
Boulevard Tank 7
Prairie Ale
Ballast Point Sculpin
Boulevard Saison Brett
Goose Island Sofie
4 Hands Reclaimed

 

There are plenty of non bitter IPA's out there.....plenty of them.

Better stock up on SSRA, it's going bye-bye.

For me this year, Troegs Cultivator was waaaaay easy drinking for 6.9%.

 

Last Snow 6.5% but you would think it was 4% while drinking it

 

Gringolandia Super Pils. 7.2%

Good call! I couldn't remember what I'd had recently that fit the bill, but you're right, Hi-Res for sure.

I'm not a big Hopslam guy, but that's a pretty good one if you're looking for something pretty easy drinking, especially for a beer that hoppy.

Zombie Dust also fits the bill, but Hi-Res and Hopslam are stronger.

 

Most well made beers drink smoothly regardless of the ABV. I've had smooth 10% beers but I've also 10% beers that you couldn't choke down. It's all about the quality when it comes to beer..

 

Duvel, Achel, La Chouffe, lots of 8% + Belgian Ales are easy to drink.

 

Glad to see Vitus make an appearnce. So underrated. I buy it about once a month but I feel it should be in my rotation at a greater rate.

I would even include the latest Sn Hop Hunter. The lighter drier mouthfeel leads to it feeling very easy to consume. 6.2% and the bitterness doesnt really come through at all.

For local options, I would include Marble Double White. It's a Witbier at 7%. Citrus tones with some tartness and yeastiness. Deceiving at 7% because its not overly sweet tasting

 

Vitus.

 

Founders Breakfast Stout

 

For non-IPA:

Abt 12
Celebrator
Troegenator
Yorkshire Stingo
Old Chub
Dirty Bastard
And various marzens and bocks.

A recent (to me) IPA that I found surprisingly not very bitter given the high IBU rating is Resin; to me it's very smooth and easy to drink.

 

Indian Brown Ale.

 

I was recently shocked by how easy drinking Greenbush Dystopia is, even at 9%.

But, for me, the king of that range for a sit-down-and-drink-a-few gets awarded to Revolution's Anti-Hero:

Hi-Res is 10+ % and is a pretty easy drink. Jai a lai and Myrcenary both very easy also.

 

2-11.

 

FBS...can drink that all night long
