SEASONAL SIPS LITE CLUB

There was a time when lite beer meant getting kicked out of Flavour Town, but those dark days are over. Here are some terrific local brews that are lighter on alcohol and calories, but not on taste.

Fixed Gear Cherry Training Wheels Dry Hopped Sour LCBO 13369, 473 mL, $4.25 With cherry juice bringing its fruitiness and pink hue, this tart beer is a good beginner’s sour.

Lake of Bays Unmapped Hazy Light IPA LCBO 33137, 473 mL, $3.75 Also new, this Muskoka-made brew is hazy and hop-forward with a refreshing citrusy finish.

Wellington Brewery Boot Lite Lager 31952, 473 mL, $3.15 A new addition to the LCBO, this crisp, malty lager has only 137 calories per can and 3.3% alcohol by volume.
