Use carbs as the first filter
This page is sorted to surface the leanest beer choices first. Start with the top ten, then compare calories and ABV.

The current ranked list averages 104 calories per 12 oz serving, so carb wins do not always mean the lightest overall pour.
Keep a practical threshold
If you want a fast rule, use the current floor of 1.0g carbs per 12 oz serving as a benchmark and stay near it.
