Wild Goose India Pale Ale

This is a fine IPA. I spoke with the brewer recently who told me that he has slowly brought this brew back into traditional IPA specs since taking the job Frederick Brewing a year or so ago. Previously, he was the head brewer at Great Lakes. He’s done a great job with the Wild Goose IPA. Wonderful hops aroma and flavor. Nice maltiness in the front. All in all a world class IPA.

IPA’s are a favorite style, and this beer does not offend. Hoppy, crisp, clean and bold. Nice malt blend with the hop floral nose. A must try beer.

Pleasant hop aroma. Surprisingly, a nice amount of malt flavor up front, with an impressive, long, bitter hop finish. The hops were not close to being overpowering, which i thought was a great thing. Although IPA’s arent usually my cup of tea, I’ll gladly drink this one any day of the week.

Amber color. Foamy off white head. Very clean crisp taste....slightly bitter. Clean finish.

In the bottle. I'm told this brewery is about to go under. I hope not because this IPA is quite fine. Excellent buttery palate with a strong hop aroma and bittering taste. Not too much calcium sulfate, and that's probably good, but I like the gypsum to be heavy in an IPA.

Just like they say on the label -- a LONG hoppy finish. Very clean and crisp -- refreshing, especially during the summer months. A top pick for me amongst IPAs.

Long time favorite IPA of mine. Amber color under a fluffy white, durable head. Although supposedly an English style IPA, it is generously hopped in aroma and nose. Pleasant citrus, fruity flavor. Crisp, dry finish

Crisp, refreshing, balanced. All has been said before, and all is true. It’s a winner for me as an IPA fan.
