Why you should try Wissahickon's Goseberry Ale

Summer is here, and I’m looking for tasty beers to sip in the sun on weekends.

• I recently stumbled upon Goseberry Ale from Wissahickon Brewing Co. in Northwest Philly.

Details: It's a wheat beer brewed with blackberry puree and pink Himalayan sea salt.

• The crimson-colored tipple has a touch of tart and mild sourness with a dry finish. Think of a fruity, dry cider or champagne.

Of note: At only 4.3% ABV, this is an easy-drinking beer and a nice changeup from your usual IPAs, ales and the like.

Cost: $15 for a 16-ounce four pack at the brewery.

• $4 for an 8-ounce draft; $6 for a 13-ounce.

My takeaway: Perfect for a summer afternoon at the beach or in your backyard.
