| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 6, 2007 12 oz. 2006 bottle , from my brother. Hazy amber with a big, billowing yellow/tan head that collapsed over several minutes. Aroma of yeast, earth, lemon, light stone fruits, and spice. Body is light to medium, complemented by lively effervescence, and a mildly acidic, clean palate. There is some sourness in the flavor that counters a honey like sweetness, and at the finish a spicy bitterness comes on strong. Very drinkable and thirst quenching.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 28, 2007 On tap and served in a shaker (this bar didn’t appear to have much of a selection of glassware). This beer poured a clear golden/amber with a thin head of tight beige bubbles. Some spotty lacing was left around the glass. The aroma of the beer was made up of orange peel, caramel, and bread. The flavor was similar but also included some lightly spicy yeast esthers as well as a bit of candi sugar. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with light carbonation. A nice beer from Goose Island.
