You're could be missing out then, a good brew isn't always high abv. High alcohol does tend to help with the complexity but isn't what makes craft beer good. I've had many a good brew under 7%. For example the Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout I drink frequently is only 5.7% but its a damn fine beer. I've seen you mention Rate Beer, they score it a 94. Sure most Imperial Stouts (my favorite) are higher, but my advice would not to go by abv alone but let taste dictate what you drink. With that said I do find myself gravitating (excuse the pun) towards higher abv beers but I will never limit my experience based on a alcohol content.
