Jul 2, 2003 (cask): Clear ruby with minimal off-white head. Aroma is pleasant herbal hoppy. Taste is medium sweet up top before turning herbal and grapefruit hoppy. Smooth medium body with minimal carbonation.

Jul 2, 2004 5 oz sample at the brewpub. Translucent, deep red; clean, balanced nose, strongly hoppy. Balanced, clean smoothly malty body, quite hoppy for style I think. Pine, grapefruit, a bit of oak..the usual suspects. Little hard at the finish; refreshing.

Crystal clear, burnt orange brew. Quite beautiful. No head.
The nose is piney and peppery. Notes of leather and English toffee.
The flavor is malty with hints of butterscotch. Nice, evergreen-laden, acrid hop presence.
Flat, medium-bodied brew with an oily mouthfeel. Lengthy, astringent finish.

Jul 28, 2005 This is a nicely hopped up Irish ale. Hazy copper with an off-white head, the grapefruit hop aroma and taste dominate the light caramel sweetness. In the cask consitioned version, the hops are somewehat muted, especially in the aroma. As a bona fide hop-head, I recommend the "regular" version. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?PlaceID=16> Goose Island Beer Company - Clybourn, Chicago, IL<font size=-1>

Jun 29, 2003 Reddish hue with an average head and good lacing, thin to medium-bodied. Nice tart (grapefruit) and mild malt aroma, much like a newborn port. Woody and citrusy taste, lingering malt aftertaste. Thin and lively mouthfeel. A nice brew not to be confused with the standard Goose red.
