Goose Island Summertime

Bottle @ Vinens Verden, Odense. Pours hazy yellow with a small creamy white head and lacings. Nose is fruity, grassy and floral hops. Very fresh. Taste is dry and crisp. Medium and smooth palate. Easy, tasty and quaffable.

Tap at the brewpub (Clybourn location): Golden pour with a consistent white film of head. Fruit snack esters in the aroma with a touch of mild pale grains. Fluffy feel with a simple flavor. Some nondescript grains and fruity esters precede a very mildly hopped (hardly notable) finish. Simple & boring, but with no major flaws.

A pretty decent clean Kolsch that goes down nice and easy during the summer...time.

(Bottled) Very hazy yellow with a small, firm head. Lemony, quite fresh and fruity aroma with some grassy hops and hints of acidity. Flavor of pale malt, lime-lemony fruitiness, no bitterness or acidity, but a touch of cardboard. Light to medium body, somewhat refreshing with slightly fizzy carbonation. A reasonable summer beer, but the lack of flavor and only medium freshness makes it less tempting.

Bottle. Pours slight hazy golden coloured with almost no head. Aromas of grain, grass, citrus and green fruit. Refreshing flavour with notes of pale malt, mild grassy hops and fruit. Nice one.

Bottle. High and lasting creamy white head leaving nice lacings. Clear yellow body. Mild and sweet apple lemon aroma. Mild sweet apple pear flavor with a pleasant hops bitterness. Low carbonation, long aftertaste. Quite refreshing

on tap at Giordano’s in Chicago. Refreshing and flavorful with a nice aftertaste

330ml Bottle. Yellow pour with white head. Lots of carbonation. Very light fuity taste. Good summer beer but not much taste.
