Description
Goose Island Beer Company began as a single brewpub opened in 1988 by John Hall. By 1995, John’s beer had become so popular that he decided to open a larger brewery, along with a bottling plant to keep up with demand. 1999 brought even more growth, along with an additional brewpub, and today, what was once one man’s pint-filled dream has become the Goose Island empire you know and love.
in 2011, Goose Island Beer Company was acquired by Anheuser-Busch InBev. Since then, we’ve continued to brew beer that we’re proud of and now we get to share these beers with our friends both nationwide and internationally.

12oz bottle. Hazy orange tan color, looks unfiltered to me. Lots of English malt character, maybe a pinch of amber malt in the aroma, with a pleasant moderate hop balance. Malty sweet, medium bodied, subtle crisp hop bite. An all around good session beer.

Bottled at Monk’s Café & Bryggeri, Stockholm. Clear amber, firm creamy head. Sweaty mango aroma. Medium sweet with chewy rounded mouthfeel. Some sugar, lots of tropical fruits .Solid body and a finish with above medium bitterness. A hop driven, yet well balanced very American style ale. Really good!

12oz bottle. Lively frothy carbonation. Filtered deep golden color. UK IPA style, full of hop flavor. Pleasant fresh grapefruit hop aroma. This is a really well done IPA. A very clean example of a world class IPA.

Bottle, The Offie, Leicester. Hazy orange colour with a steady thin off white head. Yeasty , fruity aroma. Pleasant mouthfeel. Some citrus hop in the flavour with a hint of spice. Definite orange notes. Plenty going on, and well crafted. A little on the sweet side but thoroughly enjoyable.

12oz bottle. Hazy bronze-amber color. Very pleasant Belgian yeast and hop aroma. Thick and full bodied mouthfeel. Malty and rich with a subtle solid hop bitterness in the finish. Very subtle and respectable beer. Reminds me of a Belgian Singel. Good stuff.

12 ounce bottle shared by cdumler. Thanks! Pours a hazy peach color with a thin but persistent frothy head. Aroma of yeast, dough, faint hops and subtle caramel. Taste is pear like fruit notes, bready notes and spicy hops. Medium bodied.

Courtesy of gillard. Pours golden blonde with white head. Aroma, sugary, hoppy fruity (grapefruit) and nice grains / malts. Taste, nice caramel malt, hoppy floral / piney. Very well balanced between malts and hops, doesn’t have the high bitterness of the west coast ipa’s.

OTH tasting 09/06/08. Pours crystal clear deep gold with thin white head. The aroma is full with coriander spice notes, sugary sweet Belgian candi sugar, mild brown sugar, hints of grainy malts and more spiciness. The taste has sweet notes seducing the palate first with mild esters, assorted spices and a faint yet growing pepper seem to round out the smooth blended flavor. There’s more going on here but I’m struggling putting words to the experience.
