If it’s liquid, I love it. So, I’m sure my father doesn’t mind this Father’s Day that while I inherited his appreciation for a fine pint of beer, I also spread my love around the wine and spirit world, too.

That said, beer does hold a special place in my heart.

After all, it was the first taste of booze I ever had thanks to my grandfather. (No emails folks. I spit it out much to the enjoyment of dear old Da).

Times have changed in the beer business. Small North American cottage breweries have become red hot by reinventing old school British ales and light beer is on every guy’s radar because almost everyone of us has an interest in watching calories.

Though the flavour profile of lighter beers varies dramatically, the addition of a citrus element really levels the drinking field.

Molson Canadian 67 Sublime (12 x 341 ml, $18.12 – $22.99) has a surprisingly robust lemon/lime appeal that adds volumes to what is arguably a pretty subtle beer.

Meanwhile, the 100 calorie Miller Chill Lemon (12 x 355 ml, $21.50 – $23.99) plays down the citrus as it pumps up the volume of refreshing malt.
