3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. A good IPA, the bitterness was on the lighter end of what I feel a IPA should have, but the hops were all flavor and aroma. The initial taste there is a slight hint of coffee. I might have had a bad bottle but there was a slight taste of wet cardboard, like a oxidized beer.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Fruit and floral aroma, gold color. Medium sweet fruit up front followed by a dry mild bitter finish. Refreshing and enjoyable.

Light glowing orange body. Massive off-white head, solid lacing. Fruity hops , orange, a bit of cotton candy and bubble gum, lightly floral toward the back end. Similar flavor with a nice light refreshing fruity hop bitterness. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, pleasant and refreshing.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a dark gold with about a finger of white head. Aroma of some citrus hops and caramel malt. Taste is light bitter. Medium bodied with a somewhat slick texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, not bad. There are better IPAs out there but there are also a lot worse.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
A decent IPA from Chicago’s only macrobrewery (despite their advertising) 12 oz bottle pours a clear amber color with a small white head. Smells mostly of piney hops. Aroma also has floral hops and caramel. Tastest Sweet at first with a clean, bitter finish. Medium body and carbonation. Definitely better than Budweiser, but nowhere near the greats in the crowded IPA field.

Bottle. Golden. Slightly hazy with a decent white head. Light but enticing aroma of grassy, citrus hops. Flavour is restrained but totally pleasant. Nice and hoppy with some caramel and a bitter end. A very nice entry-level American IPA.

This was purchased at The Caboose in Ashland. Honkers is the signature beer for Goose Island. This IPA is a nice addition to thier mix of beers. The color is a golden ale with a smallish head and lacing down the glass. It is not overly bitter to taste and really a mild IPA. It is pleasant to drink with a smooth finish.

I was so surprised when I had this beer. It has little to no head, looks very cloudy. But wow is it smooth! Not super bitter or super hoppy. Would definitely buy again!

Probably the best beer at Yankee Stadium. Eclectic mix of bittering UK hops which stand out in the palatte and flavorful American hops. My wife disagree that this is a English style IPA as she is English. But the yeast character gives it this rather dry finish among the bitterness and I wish the citrus component was more prevalent. More of a hybrid to me and a nice IPA.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
YET ANOTHER IPA IN A SEA OF IPA’S AND THIS ONE JUST DOESN’T CUT IT VASTLY OVERRATED. SLIGHTLY BITTER HOPS ARE PRESENT YET THE FLAVORS ARE SLIGHTLY OFF NOT DONE WELL ENOUGH FOR MY PREFERENCE, IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF THIS OR ANOTHER IPA GO THE OTHER, YET IF YOU HAVE A CHOICE OF THIS AND A LIGHT PILSNER THIS WILL DO. VERY SLIGHTLY ABOVE AVERAGE BEER FOR A MACRO BREW YET VERY BELOW AVERAGE IPA.

Orange gold pour. Fresh citrusy hop aroma with light caramel notes. Flavor is fresh spruce hops, quite bitter. Prickly dry.
