Goose Island Rye Pale Ale

On tap at Goose Island Clybourn. Yellow-orange with thick, sticky off-white head. Lemon, peach/apricot, and white pepper aroma is heavily floral. Very soft bitterness, fruity, slightly tart. Finish is more bitter and tart than the overall flavor profile. A definite winner.

Cask Conditioned hand pull at Clybourn: Brilliant sunset hue with a long lasting frothy head and excellent lace. The aroma screams RYE as well as grapefruit, pepper, bready malts, and earthy yeast esters. The flavor profile starts with a nice citric bite supported by spicy rye character and a biscuity dry finish. The bitterness last a long time on the aftertaste. The mouth feel is so smooth and creamy balanced by the hop and rye bite, nice! The Tomahawk hop shines as does the Rye addition, a beautiful handcrafted brew, get ya some!

On tap at Goose Island Clybourne. Nice PA look with pleasant hop aroma. Sweet rye flavor upront with a nice hoppy finish. This seems to be one that straddles the APA/IPA line. I hope they continue to offer this one on a consistent basis!

Clear medium-golden pour with a light white head. Pretty dense and intricate white lacing as this one went down. Spices and bread complemented the strong citrus hops very well in the aroma. Mouthfeel was slightly oily, well-carbonated, and had some very fine bitterness on the finish. Flavor was well-balanced with the spices and the citrus hops. There was also some sticky caramel malt. Very tasty and appealing brew all around!
