Goose Island Summertime

Pale yellow, rather watery looking. Slightly tart in aroma and taste. Just enough taste to let you think you are drinking a micro brew.

Pours a clear light yellow/golden color. Aroma of yeast, lemon and grain. Very light on flavor. I can hardly discern a taste. Perhaps citrus with a slight grain at the end. Easy drinking, but not much flavor.

Draught at the Ginger Man, NYC on 25th July 2009. Pale, hazy gold with mostly diminishing white foam. Refreshing, lightly hoppy; slight fruits on the nose, all delivered on a fizzy textured mouthfeel with some clinginess on the roof of the mouth.

33 cl bottle, Fargo, ND, USA. Slightly hazy pale yellow colour, foamy head. Bready and citrus aroma, sour lime first sip that spreads through the mouth, almost chalky texture. Very drinkable - someone should turn all the bud-light-lime drinkers on to this.

Tap from Goose Island pub in Wrigleyville. Pours a hazy yellow with minimal head. Light citrus aroma with a light flavor of fruit and malt.

A 35.5cL bottle from local market. Mild nose. Pale head. Pale yellow colour. Mild slightly sour taste with some hints of lemon. Mild hoppiness. Easy to drink. Slightly bitter.

12oz bottle. FIltered yellow-orange color with a respectable soapy head. Sweet malt and noble hop aroma. Pretty underrated, simply because of the style I’d assume. Maybe a touch more hop bite than most German examples. Classic, easy drinking beer. Light creamy yeast balances it out perfectly. Good stuff.

Golden beer with a decent sized white head. Smell of citrus and yeast. Flavor is malt with some citrus. Decent lacing around the glass. Not bad on a hot day but there are others I would rather have
