English Bitter (3.4% ABV), English Mild (3.5% ABV), Scottish Ale (3.5% ABV). Most beers are in the 4-5% ABV range. Following English tradition, balanced lower ABV beers can be very enjoyable, flavorful and satisfying.

Also, most people aren't aware of how much flavor actually can be delivered with sub 4% beers. Fyne Ales Avalanche, Deuchars IPA, even Greene King IPA were big eye openers for me.

Am I missing something?
