drinkability

Pleasant to consume

Drinkability is how easy or pleasant something is to drink.

The term appears most often in beer marketing, where it suggests a brew goes down smoothly without challenging the palate: They advertised the lager's drinkability.

Water quality reports may assess drinkability as a measure of safety and taste.

The word can apply to any beverage: The smoothie's drinkability suffered from too much kale.
