AG light recipe

[daveHQ]

I owe my mate a favour, and he has asked me to brew him a light beer

I've had a look at some recipes but I'm not really sure what to make?

It needs to be light/mid strength, but I want it to be full bodied and have good flavour, just like a full strength beer

Most lights I've ever drank are thin and crap!!

Can anyone suggest a good recipe to make?

Dark mild.
Best bitter.

What ABV percentage? I have a dark mild that's at about 3.8 that could be tweaked back to around 3 with some fiddling.

+1 for Manticle's dark mild. Have brewed a few variations of it and all have been great.

Also have a house apa that is mid strength. Is thinner than the mild but still has great flavour.

The dark mild sounds good!

I'm looking for around 3.5% ABV

Dr Smurto's Light Amber is a great one, really can't tell it's a light beer in body and flavour. My version on tap at the moment is 2.8%.

Another good one I have done (was around 4% so not really that light) was Tony's LC Bright Ale Clone mashed high (69c from memory).
