12oz bottle BB 07/14/06. Pours a bronze color. sinking off-white head leaves nice lace. Aroma of malt and citrus, something musk-like, a touch of cologne maybe. Carmel comes through. Flavor: a malty pale ale with a good dose of carmel malt, a bit bready, with some leafy hoppiness to it. Finishes with bitterness; which is nice...but the leafy aspect of the hops does stick around and becomes a little distracting. An average pale ale, that does achieve a good balance of hops & malt...but seems like something in the mix just sticks out too much in a bad way...those leafy hops...

Nov 7, 2009 Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy orange copper with a small frothy white head that leaves decent spotty lacing. The aroma is a fruity malt with caramel and coriander. Thin mouthfeel with a bready malt and caramel with a nice crisp finish. Easy to drink a good pale ale from Goose Island.

Oct 3, 2009 no hops whatsoever, just pale malt. not bad, but not good either. i’d be happier with something i know is good. but at least i get to add another tick to the tally. Bottle at whole foods, miami beach.

Aug 30, 2009 Overly sweet. Nice crisp hop profile that hints at some grassy notes, but overall the malt in this one is too syrupy. Pours cloudy copper with white head.

Aug 25, 2009 Brewed from organic ingredients by Goose Island for Whole Foods, and sold at a low price. Aroma is lightly sweet and hoppy with a whiff of skank. A light/medium weight ale that tastes like a malty lager, with a bit of citrus and pine. A good brew, and not a bad deal at all.

Jul 25, 2009 Clearish orange, decent white head. Fruity, bready, slightly hoppy aroma. Smooth and surprisingly rich palate. Some fruity notes up front, barely noticeable hop finish. OK session ale, I suppose.

Jun 28, 2009 12 oz. Clear gold-copper with a lasting half-inch of foam. Earthy grain and caramel on the nose. Flavor is caramel, grain and light citrus. Light-medium body is smooth and barely dry enough.

Jun 27, 2009 This inexpensive brew was picked up at Whole Foods in Charleston SC while on vacation - it poured an orangish color with a foamy white head. Plenty of lacing. Aroma of pine, citrus and mild hops. Mild taste as well - grapefruit, lemon, pine and faint hops. Decent beer but pretty meek. Drinkable however.
