The Midway was the park at the heart of the 1893 world’s fair in Chicago to which people came from far and wide to enjoy. Inspired by this, our Midway Session IPA has the citrus hop hit people love in an easy drinking IPA for everyone.

Goose Midway is a lighter, sessionable IPA, which combines delicate citrus aromas with a balanced malt backbone, evoking tropical and mandarin notes. Using Hallertau, Amarillo, Centennial and Mosaic hops gives this IPA a medium to low malt profile, with a medium to low bitterness.

Keg at the Loaded Dog, Leicester. Mellow golden, clear with an unobtrusive ring of white head and a good bit of lacing. Orange peel, Earl Grey, faint grassy smell. An innocuous but pleasant sweetness turns slightly more bitter to a more pleasant but not noticeably less innocuous balanced finish with a suggestion of spicy hop. Watery body compensated by heavier carbonation. Not bad by any means but lacking in the character I was hoping for.

12oz can. Filtered looking orange-tan body. Foamy, fading off-white head. Pretty decent for the style, pleasant tropical hop tones are the main draw. Medium bodied, drinks a little fuller than the 4.1% would suggest. OK.

On tap. (4.6% ABV) Pours a slightly hazy amber with a small, creamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Mild, fruity aroma of pale malt, lemon, grapefruit and grass. Sweet fruity flavour of pale malt, lemon, orange, grapefruit, muddled tropical fruit and grass with a dry, mildly bitter floral hop finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Easy drinking, but a little tame even for a session ipa.
