Wild Goose India Pale Ale

12 oz bottle pours a golden yellow with no head. Light hoppy and wheat aromas come to the nose. The flavor is surpisingly wheaty for an IPA but it is balanced well with a small nice blend of hops. Thin bodied and sweet but finishes clean.

Bottle. Clear amber color. Crisp flavors up front, slightly grassy, overall very light for IPA, but it doesn’t have any defects that I can find. Oily and syrupy hops are present, reminds me of SNPA actually, with some light pine and sap flavors. Light and sweet hop and wheat flavors, drinkable and tasty, but not a world class IPA... in fact it’s almost right between APA and IPA in my opinion.

Pale gold body with a light white head. Sweet grain (possibly corn) and light malts in the aroma, little to no hops. Light grain taste, sugar with malts, again little to no hops. Sweet and slightly bitter ending. Not really sure how this can be called an IPA.

averaged sized rocky white head that diminished quickly. Fruity melon/berry aroma. Little to no hop aroma. Slight sweetness with an appearance now and then of some bittering hops. There was and acidic/sour aftertaste in the first few sips that wasn’t as well detected at the end. A bit thin. Fair amber ale.

Bottle. Pours clear orange yellow with white head. Aroma is light floral and citrus. Flavor is malt, and citrus, and minimally hoppy. Hmm. This is not an IPA.

When you can get this, grab it. Well-rounded, full flavored IPA with a slightly sweet backflavor. Really enjoyed this.

If you replaced the "I" with an "A" I think the rating would be a bit more accurate. Not bad, but very limited in hoppiness. Might have been better had the distributor not kept Wild goose variety packs well past their exp date.

Clear amber color with a medium creamy white head. Sweet floral aroma. Sweet heavy citrus flavor with some floral hints. Original Rating 6/3/6/3/11
