I'm mainly talking about sub 1.030 brews that are still "beery": not Kvaas or other alcoholic beverage not made from hops, barley and water, altough I'm sure they can be delicious. I was reading the Shut up about Barclay Perkins blog and stumbled on the figures for Mild during WWI and was astonished to see the low gravities (sometimes as low as 1.023!) that the 4d beer were sporting.
I like me some low-gravity session ales and was wondering if such "thin" offerings still had the mouthfeel and taste of beer. I like the challenge of brewing something that is very low in alcohol that is still delicious: Bob's Mild at around 1.035 felt like a much bigger beer. Anybody has experience/tips about brewing such a "reverse monster" ?
