May flowers bring beer showers? OK, lame, I know but May in California means drinking outside and here are three beers that you can chill out with without getting blitzed.
~LIGHT
Firestone Walker/ Easy Jack 4.50% ABV
“Brewmaster Matt Brynildson went to the mountain and returned with a vision for a different kind of Session IPA, one that would be brewed and dry hopped with a globetrotting selection of new hop varieties from Europe, New Zealand and North America. ”
~MEDIUM
Modern Times/ Fortunate Islands 5.00% ABV
“Fortunate Islands shares the characteristics of an uber-hoppy IPA and an easy drinking wheat beer. A massive dose of Citra and Amarillo hops gives it a blastwave of tropical hop aromatics: mango, tangerine, and passionfruit.”
~DARK
The Commons/ Madrone 6.00% ABV
“Madrone is an amber saison with a hint of tartness and a big burst of fruity west coast hops. Citrus and tropical fruit in the nose this might be the closest to an IPA we’ll get.”
