Well, my last few brews have all been over 7% and now I'm looking for a really tasty very low abv beer. I'm thinking something definitely below 4% abv - something that I can have a few of during a brew session and not have to worry about getting all lackadaisical and what-not. Any style goes, I love em hoppy, malty, spicy, fruity, sour, you name it. So, any ideas?
 
My session ESB is listed in my recipes on the left. 3.8% ABV and very tasty.
