Lamar Street Organic Pale Ale

Brewed by Goose Island Beer Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Chicago, Illinois USA

Orange pour with a soap head. Refreshing and clean with small hop character at the end. Decent stuff. Thanks to Kawa for this local.

Straw color with medium white head...smelled of rotten bread with a hint of sweaty foot then some hops for balance...tasted much the same...just sour malt flavor...needs a lot of work...

This was a pretty decent pale ale. Nice floral hop character. Flavor is a bit on the sweet side but it was a nice change of pace. Goes down extremely easy, smooth, nice lawnmower beer that I could really drink a lot of. No realy aftertaste, could probably use a bit more bittering hops.

Had Goose Island slapped their "Honkers Ale" label on this, I probably would have drunk it as such and not noticed the difference. However, I did notice an additional fruitiness that Honkers doesn’t have. Other than that, it’s the same mild ale, a transitional drink to aidthe area’s pale lager drinkers get a taste of the ale half of the beer world.

Slightly hazy, copper appearance with a short lived head. Modest aroma that had a spicy hop profile. Taste mirrored this to a large extent: flowery and spicy. Finish was acidic and a little thin. Middle-of-the-road pale ale.

Hmmm. An odd duck to show up here, brought in by a wine distributor. Light burnt gold appearance, little head. Sour bread aroma. Light yet somehow cloying body, lots of sour bread, a hint of fruit, woody bitterness on the finish. A completely unremarkable, perhaps even substandard, golden ale that is brewed by a thousand mediocre brewpubs. Yawn.

(12-ounce bottle) This is a malty, woody pale ale with a mild bitterness and little in the way of hops; The flavor has a slight fruitiness and sweetness up front, and the bitterness is a bit stronger in the finish; Fairly carbonated mouthfeel; Pale golden in color and slightly cloudy, with several large, chunky flakes suspended in the beer; Earthy, woody, mildly malty nose; White head fades to a thin layer and leaves a fair amount of fine lacing

This is a respectable American Pale Ale. Its an all organic. It’s not the best APA I’ve had. It is very tasty and is a very nice beer. I haven’t had a bad Goose Island product yet.
