    5-7%. I definitely prefer stuff that's closer to 7, maybe a little over, but choosing 7-9% was just a bit too much. I'd have to keep the option open of kicking back and having two or three 5%ers on a warm day.

    7 seems to be a magic number .... I wish the category was 6 - 8%

    Depends on the time of year and activity while I'm drinking. Warm =lower abv. Cold = higher abv. Couch time in the evening = whatever I have that's new in the fridge.

    5-8% here. It is a nice little pocket that includes a lot of styles, from Pilsners to DIPAs.
