Honestly -- I'm in complete agreement with that, and it's the sort of beer I've been looking for and buying these days (though maybe not always looking for hops as the big character). “Lower alcohol beers with massive and wonderful aroma flavors from great hops would be a nice change of pace.”

Folks really liked the lower alcohol and massive hop flavor. A few even stuck around longer to have another couple as the low alcohol wouldn't affect the eventual driving. Lower alcohol beers with massive and wonderful aroma flavors from great hops would be a nice change of pace. Sell more, drink more, enjoy more, worry less- and all with great hops.
