kidmartinek (644), austin, Texas, USA May 7, 2008 Wow! There’s nothing revealing about this beverage. Tastes like fat tire reloaded, only more palatable, thus better. Pours light amber, small 1/4 inch light tan head. Aroma of lighter bready, doughy malts and yeast. Flavor is flav-o-flav delicioso. Light dough, yeast, and minereal water, mild malt, and slighlt hop flavor. So well rounded all around it can’t be BaD? Doughy, bready lighter, finish. Drink this beer, not if, but when you are skinny dippin’.
carruthm (253), USA Jul 8, 2008 short notes.
clear yellow, thin head
citrus nose, little malt taste and crisp finish. Nothing spectacular, but solid. troysworktable (95), Washington, USA Jul 8, 2008 On tap at Trackside Pizza, Puyallup, Washington.
Skinny Dip arrives clear honey yellow with a thin white head. The lacing it leaves behind consists of small specks, like an ale dot-to-dot. It smells intensely of butterscotch. It is a good smell, but strange. The flavor is light. It begins with a minor bite, with a few spices in the background, that quickly turns nutty, although it is rather light.
My major problem with it is that the nose and taste don’t quite match. The other is that as it warms a hidden fruitiness begins to emerge. I wish that flavor was more present from the beginning and bolder throughout. RCL (948), Boston, Massachusetts, USA Jul 7, 2008 The Belgian flavor comes through a bit with the yeastyness. Lime flavor is lightly herbal and not overwhleming. Meh. timfoolery (279), Alabama, USA Jul 7, 2008 Bottle from BevMo. New Belgium is a good producer of beer, but this one wasn’t my favorite by a long shot. Pair that with the fact that this was is listed as a Belgian, when it’s tastes straight on lager. blutt59 (478), Dallas, Texas, USA Jul 6, 2008 bottle, golden color with slight head, flavor is mostly a flabby malt, slightly sweet, finish is ok
