New Belgium Skinny Dip (Loft)

Golden amber with thin white head, disappears rapidly. Aroma of peanuts and caramel. Taste is an odd combination of incompatible spice, not very pleasant.

aroma is of sweet grains with with a light astringency that gives way to trademark new belgium biscuit malt. appearance is translucent gold. flavor is of diluted citrus and light pepper with a tidal wave of water following it and a brief aftertaste of more biscuit. center of palate has a light acidic bitterness that lingers briefly afterwards. palate is gushing broken dams heaving with roaring rapids.

Golden with a large white head. Strange aroma, artificial, light fruit. Flavour is thin and watery caramel.

12oz bottle. Clear, deep-golden body, lightly sparkling and topped with a medium head of white foam that leaves behind delicate sheets of lace. Aroma is dominated by lemon and a musky-yeast aroma like a pilsner. In the mouth it’s light and watery with a little fizzy carbonation. Flavor is mild with a hint of lemon, faint hops and some spiciness (black pepper?). A dry beer designed to be drank in large quantities or not at all.

Poured clear and pale amber with a minimal white head. Streaks of lacing. The aroma was lightly spiced yeast and some citrus. The flavor was a nice blend of yeast, citrus and spice. Thin mouthfeel, finished clean. Easy to drink. Totally sessionable.

Clear gold with a funky off white head. Aroma is also funky with a bit of lime. Flavor is too small but has, again, funkiness, pepper and some other stuff that doesn’t add up to enough to make this beer. Probably a decent summer time quaff. Maybe the next time I go skinny dipping I will take this beer. That might be a while.

Wow, I would expect this from Bud or Miller but this is just a pathetic effort from New Belgium. This may beer the first beer I pour down the sink, this coming from a guy who refused to pour out St. Pauli even though it wrecked my guts and gave me massive heartburn. Seriously the beer had a dirt aftertaste, yep second sip confirms it. New Belgium: people don’t buy your brews because they want to stay in shape, they buy them searching for great taste. Horrible beer. Talk about a brown stain on white undies.

Pours a nice golden color with bright white head with decent lacing. Aroma is pilsner like with lightly malted grains some citrus notes, probably due to the hops and not any citrus addition. Mouthfeel is light and watery. Taste is light and mainly a watery mix of grains and alcohol notes. I just read the description and it said it is a light summer beer. This fits that purpose it would be a good beer to drink several of on a hot day while outside.
