Easy Drinking Beers

The Stone go to IPA is great at 4.5% abv. Plenty of hop flavor and a fair amount of bitterness. Although mid-palate the flavor sort of hits the brakes and stops. I suppose that's what can occur when it's only 4.5%.

 

the easiest in my stash would likely be evil twin falco.... that goes down way too easily. would be a wonderful gardening beer.

Fine, it's still 7%, but that's pretty much the lowest I go. I generally don't do sessionable brews.

 

Lone Star

 

Hoegaarden, Boulevard 80 Acre

 

Troegs Sunshine Pils
21st Amendment Bitter American

 

A decent session mild or bitter which by definition are easy drinking (you wouldn't get pople to drink pint after pint if it wasn't)
This gorgeous stuff is only 3.4% ABV but you wouldn't believe that if you tried it.This by the way is an unfinished pour, the glass was initially filled and I was invited to take a couple of swigs to make room for a full pint. The pub sells beer not foam and the glass was topped up.

 

Any of the Sierra Nevada year-round beers.

 

Shouldn't have been browsing this at work. Now my mouth is watering & I'm thirsty for a helles. 5 more hours to go

 

St. Bernardus Abt. Slightly over your ABV cap, but I can drink it all day.

 

5 hours easily enough time for 5 litres of Helles.

 

Another vote for Founder's All Day IPA (maybe that's why it's called that?). I also like Southern Tier Phin & Matt's Extraordinary Ale, which is probably the first "craft beer" I discovered a few years ago.

 

German beers (pils, lagers, hefes, etc..), Good craft lagers, Bells amber ale..

 

Although my wallet hates me for it, I'm a big fan of the Maine Beer APAs

 

Good call, OP on the Full Sail Amber; one of my personal faves when I want an easy drinker.

 

The one I am drinking now, Erdinger hefeweizen dunkel,greT easy drinkier.Cheers

 

Black Butte Porter

 

Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier. 5.4% and soooo much flavor!

 

Almost time for summer wheat pale ales. Thinking ST Hop Sun and Peak's Summer Session for those of us in the Northeast. Looking forward to Bell's Oberon when in NY this summer as well.

 

Ska ESB (and True Blonde + Modus Hopperandi) are in my fridge permanently.

 

Redhook ESB
Bell's Best Brown
Newcastle Brown Ale
GI Honker's Ale

The English invented the most comforting and relaxing beer styles.
