A bit of levity
BSA (alcohol-free beer), a Quebec brand that specializes in the creation of alcohol-free microbrewery beers, presents its new summer project: Super light. As its name suggests, Super Light offers a range of three beers containing only 2% alcohol. A combination of a classic beer and a non-alcoholic one.
Fruity NEIPA was crafted with Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe and Cascade hops which give it subtle hints of mango and grapefruit. A beer with a cloudy body in perfect balance between bitterness and freshness. The Strawberry Sure is German-inspired with strawberry flavor. Smooth, balanced and refreshing, this is the perfect fruity beer on a sunny patio. The Czech Blonde pilsner is brewed with Saaz hops. Easy to drink, invigorating and crisp, this beer is versatile; it will appeal to both purists and lovers of the classics.
Available in supermarkets and specialty stores, at a cost of $4.20 | superlight.ca
