OK, bit of a change-up for this month as I am picking the beer that was the most memorable upon first sip instead of my usual, rubric of best from first sip to the last.
Before we go there, here are my excellent runners up:
El Segundo / Enegren Gemeinschaft lager – great reddish tinted color and a malty easy drinker.
Chapman 7thAnniversary Dry Hopped Pilsner – I applaud any non-IPA anniversary beer
Bottle Logic A Quad IPA in this Economy? – big but not just in ABV. big on haze and fruit as well
Winner – Fremont Gose with cucumber and sea salt. You take a sip and that cucumber just hits you. Then you get a gentle touch of salt and a little tang of acidity. A wonderful spa Gose as it were. You will not forget the first sip.
