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.

Draught at TD Garden, 11/6/18.
Soft, bronze-peach-golden with a chill haze and fairly large, white head atop showing moderate retention.
Fruity and with a strong grapefruit and pine element to it with seemingly well-attenuated malts that show biscuit, dough and light honey. Clean with strong pepper-like C-hop character lingering alongside pine, lemon and marmalade. No alcohol noted.
In the mouth it's properly dry and with a fairly substantial malt character showing white bread, honey and biscuit. Black pepper, cantaloupe, nectarine and grapefruit definitely are the main force of the beer with a firm bitterness that seems to get more dominant the more I drink. Malts are a little "mushy"; while it never gets too sweet really, the malt is just sort of doughy/bready/lightly sugary and really not particularly enjoyable. The heavy pepper, grapefruit and pines definitely wears on me by the end of the glass. But for a macro, you could do A LOT worse.

Draft from a pitcher at a bowling alley. Pours clear, yellow, with a big, frothy, white head. The nose is pine sap, caramel, cloves, and white bread. Sweet and syrupy, with a light bitterness. Light to medium body, with a syrupy, slick palate. This is a weak, neutered IPA. Nothing terrible, just fair.

From a 330ml bottle on 6/6/2018. This is an Australian 'brewed under the supervision of Goose Island' product, soI can't attest to whether it replicates the real thing. The aroma is slightly fruity and a touch minerally. The flavour presents with some biscuit malt, and a fairly indistinct fruit sweetness, which is followed by a reasonably firm, slightly herbal, slightly chemical bitterness. Medium bodied with average carbonation. A slightly rough and uninspiring IPA.

Bottle from local AH supermarket. Color: Clear golden, off-white head. Taste: Straw, bit grainy. Moderate to medium sweet malt, moderate bitter grassy and lightly flowery hop. Nothing more, nothing less. Medium body, average carbonation. I have had far better IPA's.
