    According to my ratings, Cantillon Lou Pepe Kriek is my highest rated beer that's under 5.5%. Fou Foune is a close 2nd, tied with Cantillon Iris. As for a non Cantillon beer, and something that's more easily attainable, Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout and Organic Chocolate Stout are my easily attainable beers. Lastly, Weihenstephaner Hefe is also on that list.

    Anderson Valley Gose or Westbrook I would have to say. Although Boat beer was pretty damn good too! I have not been fortunate enough land a Cantillon yet, so I can't make the remark.

    Any of the Aecht Schlenkerla offerings but looking over my list I found a French beer
    Mosaic Black Bitter made by Brasserie Du Mont Saleve that impressed me very much.

    Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout tops my ratings for those below 5.5%. Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier and Anderson Valley Gose get honorable mentions.
