English term

sessionable

English to German Other Food & Drink Beer description
Unsurprisingly, if there is an iconic South African craft beer style that nearly everybody does, it would be a lager or a pilsner, followed by a loosely-defined German style weizen. In the grand scheme of things South African craft brewers may be laggards, but knowing their consumers well they cleverly jumped the first stage of in-your-face beers and immediately took to what Americans would call ‘*sessionable* beers’.

I found a definition:
The characteristic of an alcoholic drink (usually a pint of beer) which is suitable for a lengthy drinking session. Usually refering to beer with an ABV between 3.5 and 4 %. Used when a non-pajoritive word is required for a weak beer.

Any ideas? I'm at a lose end.
Proposed translations (German)

"Session Beers" Hier ein Link dazu: https://www.beeradvocate.com/articles/653/

Also es sind Biere mit weniger als 5 %. Glaube aber auch, dass es "süffig" hier ganz gut trifft.

agree Thomas Pfann : süffig wäre mein Favorit (oder auch das von Sven in der anderen Frage eingeworfene gefällig) – Biere also, die sich gut trinken lassen
