An adult goose leads the goslings. We can relate. As one of the first microbreweries to open for business in the Mid-Atlantic region, we’ve blazed a trail for other craft brewers. Our wild goose XPA is a classic English style ale best enjoyed with a Chesapeake bay sunset and a friend.

Location: 3/24/09, 12 oz bottle from Gilly's, poured this one into one of those Sam Adams bubble glasses
Aroma: Slight malts, some grass
Appearance: Cloudy yellow, orange
Flavor: Hoppy, slightly bitter, bit of a strangeness that's hard to place
Palate: Dry, a bit difficult to properly describe
Overall Impression: This one was alright at first, but it didn't work exactly right. A little to dry, and missing something that cost it a few points. Aftertaste leaves something to be desired for sure.

Bottle from Capital Ale House - Downtown on 10/06/2008. Very clear golden copper body with a small creamy off-white head. Sweet caramel aroma with some cheerios and a bit of honey. More cheerios flavor, light honey and slight caramel. Medium body with moderately low carbonation.

Wild Goose xpa. Nice pale yellow streaming appearance. Fairly bitter taste even tho the aroma is only mild hops. Strongish overall with a flowery bitter aftertaste. S5L2F3T4o8

Bottle. Just enough flavor to keep this drinkable, but not enough to make it more than good. Clear, light amber body with a small, bubbly head. The aroma is mostly malty with notes of grain, bread and a hint of caramel, lightly yeasty with hints of biscuit and and lightly hoppy with hints of grass. Medium body and watery texture. Lively carbonation. With the alcohol level a little above a session beer, this is nicely balanced and easy drinking.

12oz bottle. The appearance of this one is indeed an extra pale, heavily filtered, orange-tan color. The taste is quite British in my opinion, with a creamy malt backbone and a mild, hoppy beginning and end. Nothing over-the-top, but I’d have to say this might be one of Maryland’s finest new session beers. Deceiving appearance, but quite a nice Ale.
