4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pretty good, but now part of "And how’s her bush", so there is reason for skepticism about how this will all flesh-out. Watch how it will all of a sudden start hogging shelf space, now that AB owns it. It is all about shelf space and distributors in the liquor business.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle sample at a tasting at Beer and Beyond store. Thanks Tom. Clear dark gold with white head. Sweet and a little malty aroma, mild bitterness in the mouth. Light body, abrupt finish, a little malty.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Okay aroma of classical english ales, biscuit appearence and a palate close to the english bitters. Malty taste which is heavy but delightfull.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 ounce bottle from Fort Collins, CO was served chilled in a snifter.
Appearance - Poured sparkling clear, dark amber in color, with a fine, creamy bone-colored head. The head had disappointing retention. Good lacing on the sides of the glass.
Smell: About equal mix of malts and hops; A bit floral with hints of brown sugar..
Taste: Like a relatively bitter, earthy and hoppy amber ale: i.e., mildly bitter and true to style. Well balanced. A trace of ripe fruit.
Mouthfeel: Near medium bodied, with good lively moderate carbonation. A bit crisp with a semi-dry finish.
O: Flavorful, interesting and just 4.3% ABV, this is a good session ale.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A decent beer, but not up to the level of other Goose Island Brews. Pours a yellow orange with a white head. Smells and tastes like tropical fruit, but a little boring. Had at bottle rock in napa.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: amber pour with medium-sized beige head. Aroma is slightly metallic with malt and bisquit notes. Flavor is sweet with malt and honey, with a mild grassy hop bitterness in the middle, and some bready tones throughout. Easy drinking with mild flavors, just a bit much on the malted flavor.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Aromas of nuts, caramel, and orange peel. Clear orange-amber with a small, fairly lasting, white head. Dry, bitter, nicely balanced with earthy hops and nutty malt flavors. Light-medium body, crisp carbonation, and with a clean finish.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
How is this an ale? Its more like an amber in color. Aroma is hop-malt mix.
Smooth finish - drinkable, but I would recommend this beer for fall or winter.
