Another new Belgium tonight. This one is a light beer which is different since most craft breweries don't make light beers. Making a good tasting light beer can be tricky since the basic idea of brewing is adding sugar to yeast to make alcohol and sugar = calories. Also a light beer has a stigma of watery bad tasting beer.
I smell some yeast in the this beer. I also smell some citrus aromas from this Skinny Dip. This beer has a medium straw color, with lots of big bubbles. The foam on this beer is not subsiding and the bubbles coming from the bottom of the glass are larger than normal.
I taste some hops in this beer, a clear hop flavor that is like smelling a bowl of hops, maybe a raw hop flavor would be a good description. I think this beer has a nice clean taste that leaves only a slight bitterness in the mouth. I can taste the slightest hint of citrus when drinking this beer, it blends well with the hop flavor. By no means a full bodied beer this one has a light beer mouthfeel, something close to water.
In that past I never paid any attention to this beer. But I think the hops in this beer and the clean taste make this one worth sampling. I think this is a great summer time drink, light and refreshing with low alcohol at 4.2%.

We call this one a good "lawn mowing beer". Good, light, refreshing taste for hot Summer days doing some yard work.
