New Brew Thursday: '55 Funk with Key Lime and Coconut’ from Greater Good Imperial Brewing Company

We are officially in the dog days of summer folks. That means trips to the beach, cook-outs, and day drinking. While it can be difficult to find that perfect summer beer I am here to tell you that ’55 Funk with Key Lime and Coconut’ from Greater Good Imperial Brewing Company is the perfect beer to kick off your drinking day.

’55 Funk with Key Lime and Coconut’ pours into the glass a cloudy, golden-yellow with a nice white head. It has sweet notes of coconut with just a little hint of lime to round things out. The taste is amazing. The initial sweetness of the coconut gives way to the tartness of the lime within seconds of the first sip with that tartness lingering on the mid-tongue just long enough. Building up with each subsequent sip. With a light, yet creamy mouthfeel and clocking in a whopping 8% ABV this one will sneak up on you if you’re not too careful. ’55 Funk with Key Lime and Coconut’ is an awesome sour is great for all seasons but PERFECT for the summer.
