A beer that I can actually describe as red in color. Really soft head. There is a huge citrus aroma. Hops totally rule this beer and they are quite delicious. grapefruit and pine dominance. Almost a spicy effect with the hops. Very well balanced and awesome...enough so that I took a growler home with me.

At Goose Island, not the clybourn one, the other one. Was the best out of the samples. Good with a burger, as I found out.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours hazy, slighty dark amber-copper with a thin, tight, khaki head. The aroma is toast, very citrusy hops, pineapple, grapefruit, and zest. The flavor is grapefruit, melon rind, and tangerine. Bready malt sweetness, kind of like homemade biscuits, subdues any harshness. Nice fresh hop character throughout; it finishes with some toasty malt. I like the mouthfeel on this, too... full and slightly sparkly, perfect for the style.

In short: A very well malted and well hopped Pale Ale. Way above average.
How: Tap at brewpub (Clybourn location)
The look: Cloudy copper body with small off-white head
In long: Nose is citrus and orange. Lots of caramelized malts in there and lots of fruity hops. Medium bitterness with grapefruits, pine-cones juice and citrus fruits. Quite a bit of after-taste. Medium carbonation. This is a nourishing and flavourful Pale Ale. With all those American brewpub Pales Ales/India Pale Ales that end-up feeling like hop juice it’s great to find one with such a rich malted body. One of the best APA I’ve had. If Goose Island ever decide to bottle this beer then there’s not doubt in my mind that they will… well… need a label.

clybourn. Pours a nice medium amber with a slight haze and a nice lasting beige head. Aroma is loaded with tons of c hops and possibly some ammarillo or simcoe that give it that wierd orange-mango like quality. Citrus, grapefruit and a bit of pine in the flavor backed with a good amount of caramel malts. This was very flavorful and enjoyable for a APA. Well made.
