Answers.Body: <p>Tame beers with low hops and malts would be a great transition, look for fruity beers low in IBU. I'd suggest something like a Raspberry Wheat, which will be light and refreshing, with a sweet berry finish.</p>

  If you like sour beers and fruit flavors, try [lambics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambic). I've known several people who "don't drink beer" who like this style.
  
  A lambic is a Belgian style, light in color and usually in alcohol level, that is fermented with wild yeasts and (usually) combined with fruit. It has a sour element to the taste, which is most notable with the non-fruit variety (*gueuze*).

  You can try something like the [Grapefruit radler](http://www.treebeer.com/grapefruit-radler/). I find it very nice on a hot summer day and you can mix it with other juices if you are not into grapefruit.
