Lamar Street Organic Pale Ale

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

Pours a light amber color with a crisp tan head. Loaded with caramel and yeast, yet high in water content and low in it’s ambition.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear orange/gold with small off white head. Aroma of sweet maltiness and faint (floral?) hoppiness. Similar notes in the taste. Slightly bitter finish. Fine carbonation.

Bottle: Copper color, lightly shiney with a light sticky head and some lacing. The nose is lightly hoppy with a faint toast and sweet orange note. The flavor lacks body and bitterness but that sweet caramel and faint grassy note are still present. Doesn’t seem hoppy in the tail though, very sweet and caramelly with a thin base malt. Clean finish for sure, but nothing close to what I’d call crisp.

Bottle: Nothing waht I would expect from an APA; malty caramel, hints of hops all very well balanced. Finish is dry and sweet.

Hazy coppery orange with fluffy white head and ample lacing. Subdued fruity nose with some graininess. Soft mouthfeel. Sweet but tolerable and not icky. Simple, sweet malts and some hop in the aftertaste, so fairly balanced beer at a really good price point.

Slightly hazy orangey-tan colour. The aroma is faint - kind of toasty, caramelly. Low bitterness. Clean, simple and approachable. Subtle toast and wood. Drinkable, but unlikely to inspire.

Light amber, 1+ inch foamy off-white head. Yeast, bread and dough aroma. Bland yeast flavor. Medium/watery mouthfeel. Bitter finsih.

Clear amber with a bit of foam. Subtle smell is yeasty bready malts and light purfumy hops. Smooth medium body. Good light caramel and toasted malt taste up front with a nicely bitter finish. Very easy drinking session brew here.
