Goose Island’s flagship IPA is a six-time medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival. We’ve taken the traditional English Style and created our own fuller flavored IPA with bright citrus aromas and a bold hop finish. With hoppy, bold, and smooth flavor, Goose IPA is the perfect beer for hopheads and discovery drinkers alike.

Amertume, fine, nette, saillante, Goose Island nous propose une belle IPA qui ne présente pourtant que 5,9 % et 55 d'IBU. Et même si les arômes ne sont pas spécifiquement riches, elle sait être agréable d'autant plus que corps et longueurs sont au rendez-vous. Le visuel sur un blond doré limpide est également appréciable. Le nez reste discret, porté principalement sur les agrumes et les fruits jaunes. Belle amertume à l'attaque qui se veut saillante sans être d'une intensité tonitruante. Les arômes sont simples avec pamplemousse et une pointe poivrée. Bonne intensité en seconde bouche avec l'amertume qui devient un peu plus racée. Celle-ci est bien mise en valeur par un sucre peu présent. Pas d'évolution notable sur les arômes. L’arrière-bouche est toutefois plus nuancée sur les agrumes. On poursuit sur un final d'une bonne longueur avec une amertume précise et sèche mais sans davantage de complexité. C'est bien équilibré, frais avec un petit tempérament bien dosé. Sympa.

Better than the other options I guess. It has hops! But no wonder non-beer people hate IPAs. bittery finish and not much to show for it.

Light amber color, frothy head. Strong hops and grapefruit aroma. Blackcurrant. Oily hoppy flavor with blackcurrant and a bit of citrus. Hoppy, oily aftertaste. Very nice beer, big in aroma and taste, but maybe just a bit onedimensional. 12 years later: Bottle, golden color. Soft oily hops and grapefruit in the aroma. Oily grassy citric hopbityter flavor with hints of peach and pineapple. Tasty IPA, pleasant to drink.

Dorada con espuma blanca, buena retención. Aroma con notas cítricas, algo de resinosas. Sabor con decente amargor, frutal con predominio de lo cítrico, ligeramente maltosa. Final amargo; muy bebible.
