Wild Goose India Pale Ale

Brewed by Wild Goose LLC (Flying Dog)
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Frederick, Maryland USA

Tasted at Beer Temple, Amsterdam. Clear golden colored, weak nose. Somewhat bitter flavor. Goes down like a pilsener.

Tap @ Beer Temple Amsterdam. Aroma of caramel malt, and pretty light pithy hoppiness. Flavor is subdued bitterness and just hints of malt and fruit with some strange off-notes that are hard to place (particularly after a day of drinking.) Overall - Boring

Tap @ Beer Temple. Clear orange color, short head. Aroma of caramel malt, slight hoppy. Bit thin aroma. Slight bitter taste. Boring, almost lager like.

Slight hazy, golden orange pour. Lightly sweet, somewhat hoppy aroma. Almost pilsener like flavour, only aftertaste hands out some hops. Boring for an ipa.

On tap at Beer Temple. Golden body with tall head. Hoppy nose. Creamy texture with a light taste of hops and oranges. A bit too mellow and harder to rate after the European Strong Lager I had just enjoyed. Pity that.

Tap @ Beertemple. Orange colored brew. Mild hoppy nose. Flavor is slightly hoppy, some yeast. Too dull.
