New Belgium Skinny Dip

Another seasonal beer from another great brewery! Skinny Dip is New Belgium's dipsomaniacal answer to the hottest months of the year.

Chalk it up to consumer negligence, but I had no idea that Skinny Dip is an ale of the lighter variety. That being said, I have to give it up to New Belgium for crafting something relatively tasty in spite of the limitations holding back the beer in the name if keeping it light.

There's a nice fluffy cloud of head to this beer (my picture doesn't do it justice), and the color is a beautiful amber that one would expect from New Belgium. The first thing I noticed besides the 'wtf, this is light beer' taste, was the nevertheless creamy texture that I wouldn't expect from a light. There's a touch of lime that accents an overall hoppy taste which goes down with a toasty finish. And for anyone who's ever chewed a crayon before, I detected some waxy notes here and there.

On the negative side, I could have done with less carbonation, although I can't say for sure how much that could have been avoided in the brewing process, I just drink the stuff.

This is the greatest light beer I've ever had, it's perfect for those looking to enjoy a good beer while maintaining a rockin' bod.
