COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Like the digits suggest, it’s a beer that’s densely populated with flavor and loaded with character. We don’t filter it, so none of its life and soul is stripped away. The first thing you notice is the hazy, cloudy appearance. That’s how you know it’s unfiltered. What hits you next is the spicy aroma of Cascade hops, followed by the crispy, fruity ale flavor delivered in a smooth, creamy body, the result of blending barley malt with torrified wheat. It’s not like any other Goose Island Beer, but no less that you’d expect.

dzimm27 (133) - - APR 27, 2013

Citrusy aroma. Bright yellow body with cloudy white appearance after swirling in the yeast. Mostly lemon with a bit of floury taste. Not super smooth, tastes too much like a light beer.

Darwenus (386) - Virginia, USA - APR 25, 2013

A lot of crackle and fizz while being poured, this beer is a standard, yellow fizzy beer with a foamy head. There’s really no aroma. Not much of a taste, either. A bit of wheat malt and a slightly sweet aftertaste. Meh.

AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20

arokitz (2) - Austin, Texas, USA - APR 24, 2013 does not count

Mediocre at best. Bland, wheat ale that has light yellow color similar to bud light. Nothing special

gururyan (475) - Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA - APR 23, 2013

From bottle, not impressed with this at all. Basically a half assed heartless beer.

alobar (2300) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 23, 2013

Cloudy golden yellow pour with white soapy head. Weak aroma of lemon, spice, and grass. Lemon, orange, slight spice, and grain flavor. Very drinkable, but not impressive.

AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20

ryanscourt (278) - Pennsylvania, USA - APR 21, 2013

One of the better American wheats I had. Has the good wheat flavor and refreshing components but a nice hop finish that adds flavor but is also in line with the crisp aspect. Similar idea to three Floyd’s gumball, not as good but very well done.

AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20

Malty_MacHops (562) - Eastanollee, Georgia, USA - APR 20, 2013

Clean but undistinguished. Very light aroma profile with touches of bread. Hazy yellow golden with a fading head (probably a bad pour from the tap). Some citrus and floral hop flavors with a bread backbone and a balanced taste. Light to medium-light bodied with a crisp finish.

RABinVA (691) - Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA - APR 19, 2013

Draft. Pours hazy hay. Fairly bland, unoffensive, smoothness all around. It’s like the bud light of wheat beers. Even less flavor than Blue Moon.
