4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20Delicious! I love a good slightly sweet malty beer with balanced (not prominent) hops. This beer is very drinkable and refreshing. It’s drinkability makes up for it’s low ABV. Easily one of my favorite everyday ales.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Beer and Beyond store. Thanks Tom. Pours yellow to bronze with a small head, aroma of caramel, honey, butter cookies, flavor of caramel, dark bread, bizarre bitterness, medium bodied

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.

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.

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.
