What are your lowest ABV WOW beers?

Hey, thanks- looks right up my alley. The label doesn't look familiar, so I haven't seen it around, but at least I'll know it when I see it.

 

I'll put in a plug for the @DESTIHL Wild Sours. These have everything I look for in a low ABV beer. Tasty, refreshing, great with light foods.

 

Backcountry Brewing's Breakfast Stout at 4.40% for me.

 

Night Shift Whirlpool
Lawson's Super Session #2
Coast 32/50 Kolsch
Fullers Black Cab
Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout

 

Off Color Yuzu Fierce was bloody amazing. I also adore Milds, and Surly's is an awesome one.

 

Just about anything from de Garde or Holy Mountain. Both typically produce low-ABV beers and I'd be more than happy if I couldn't drink from anywhere else.

 

got to be Whirlpool from Night Shift

 

A few of my favorite low ABV's:

Carton Sit Down Son (4.0)
Carton Boat (4.2)
Kostritzer Schwartzbier (4.8)
Arcobrau Zwickl Lager (5.2)
Fuller's ESB (5.9)
Orval Trappist (6.2)
Founders Porter (6.5)

 

Perennial Tart Hopfentea (4.2%)
Off-Color Yuzu Fierce (3.8%)
Evil Twin Mission Gose (4.0%)

 

Boat.....by far the best
Even Keel
Slow Ride
Kellerweise

off the top of my head

Enjoy

 

Summer wheat is a popular beer in my house all summer. Cheap at $25 and really good. IPL was really good too

Enjoy

 

Fat Heads Sunshine Daydream

 

Grunion,pivo pils,and summerfest do it for me.

 

Pilsner Urquell and Bell's Porter........................what are you people...................on dope??

 

Fyne Ales - Hurricane Jack and Jarl: These beers both wowed me a few years ago. Hoppy with a great Balance that you could just drink both on a sunny afternoon...or morning if that's your thing.

Victory Brewing - Uncle Teddy's Bitter (Cask): This beer amazes me on Cask. Easy Drinking yet exploding with Flavors upon every sip. Every time I see on the Menu, I go running like a dog in heat.

Samuel Smith's - Taddy Porter: Rich Roasted Flavors and with a Modest ABV, this will always have a soft spot in my Heart.

...There's more but I need more Coffee.

 

Atwater D-llight Kolsch style - 4.2%
Reissdorf Kolsch - 4.8%
New Holland Full Circle Kolsch style - 4.9%
SN Nooner Pilsner = 5.2%

 

I really enjoyed Jack's Abby House Lager at 5.2%. If you like lagers, there's a laundry list of great, low ABV beers. I need to revisit Pilsner Urquell. It's the first Pilsner that I really liked, but I have trouble finding it fresh (thus, I've never had it again since the first time). It's generally 4 months old or more when I see it.

Also,@Billet mentions Reissdorf Kolsch. I really would like to try that, but the bottles are not dated, and I would not take a chance with a style as delicate as Kolsch.

 

I hear you, so far I have only tried it at a popular local German restaurant. I figure they turn over their inventory pretty quickly so hopefully it will be fresh. So far, it has always been great.

 

O'Hara's Irish Stout 4.3 ABV

 

New Glarus Brewery's Wisconsin Belgian Red is only 4% & it's a pretty tasty brew.

 

Sunshine Daydream is absolutely one of the best under 5%

 

One of my favorite beers: De Garde's Bu Weisse - 2.3%

 

Westbrook Gose - 4.0% ABV

 

Right Proper - Kick Kick Snare blew my mind this weekend at 3.10%

Also Gose Gone Wild at 4.6%

 

Ballast Point Mango Even Keel! 3.8% and lots of flavor.

 

I'll also say Jackie O's Morning Cloak. Really solid hope it sticks around for the summer rotation.

 

Lost Nation Mosaic IPA (5.5%)
Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout (6%)
Mystic Table Beer (4.3%)

as to if 5.5 or 6% counts as low abv I kind of feel it does ... as 5.5% represents a low abv for an IPA and 6% is a relatively low abv for a stout.

 

Anderson Valley Blood Orange Gose

 

Kent Falls Solstice.
Kent Falls Coffee Milk Stout.
Kent Falls 2016.
Kent Falls Sweatpants
All hover in the 4-5% range. Word.

 

I'd have to say Tired Hands HopHands and Carton Boat with not much else coming close. If I could get my hands on some De Garde that might change.

 

Evil Twin Aun Mas Todo Jesus.

Eff Huna/Cake/Abraxas if this is just on the shelf for $8 a pop.

 

Fieldwork Simcoe Weisse (4.4%)
Allagash Farm to Face (5.7%)
Cantillon Classic Gueuze (5%)
Faction Defcon IV (5.2%)
Lindemann's Peche (2.5%)
Flat Tail Little Green (4.5%)
Bog Sauce Berliner Weisse (4.5%)
Russian River Redemption (5.15%)
Cellarmaker Cast Splitter (5.3%)

 

Westbrook Gose just blows everything out of the water as far as availability and cost. Sierra Nevada Kellerweis was one of my introductory beers to hefeweizens, and it is still one of my favorites. Firestone Easy Jack is also an awesome session beer.

There really are too many to name since the current trend is low ABV high hop aroma, which I'm ok with.

 

Recently.

Victory - Vital IPA

 

Carton boat and founders Mosaic promise
