Goose Island Summertime

Goose island has many fine products. Unfortunately this is not one of them.

Pours a light golden yellow, clear and well carbonated, with an inch or so of sudsy white foam. The head dies down in short order, but provides solid webby lacing throughout the glass. Slight grain and dried grass in the aroma. Smooth toasted and caramel malt flavor - light bodied. Not crisp and clean like I would expect from a kolsch, but rather smooth and mellow and more like a golden ale. But I am not reviewing to Style Police standards. Well, not too much, anyway. In any event, it is drinkable and enjoyable. Nice hops for balance and a touch of sweetened lemon in the finish.

Fairly strong floral hop aroma comes from the hazy golden brown body. Medium palate. The taste is slightly bitter and thin.

Bottle. Pours a clear strw color with a medium sized white head. Aroma is pale malts, lemon, wheat. Flavor is light citrus, wheat, yeast. Palate is light bodied, medium carbonation, sweet, thin finish. Decent summer brew.

Get some slight hops in the aroma.Pours light gold with no head.Some slight malt in the flavor.Mouthfeel was thin with a watery finish.

Bottle: Dark straw color with good head. Hops and mild bread sweetness mix with some floral qualities in the aroma. A little underwhelming though... Spicy hops and esters dominate the flavor at first, and then a nice dry hoppyness finishes it off. Good flavor throughout. Weak body. very drinkable, but not much else to say here.

Thin bright white head of medium sized bubbles. Great carbonation. Light malty aroma. Some light citrus and wheat. Pleasant aroma. Slightly cloudy bright gold. Light malty flavor with a little cereal and a touch of corn. Unoffensive but pretty boring. Clean palate with a slight bitterness and zippy aftertaste. Decent but nothing special.

Smells of citrus and wheat. This hazy gold pour tastes of wheat and bananas. It is smooth and refreshing. It was nice to have after my meal.
