12 oz. bottle.
AROMA: Caramel malt and a very slight hint of bubblegum.
APPEARANCE: Pours a clear amber with an off-white head that lingers a fair amount of time.
TASTE: Starts off fairly bitter and then wanes into a slight sweetness.
PALATE: Medium bodied with a medium texture. Carbonation is average and finish is long with a bit of a bitter touch to it.
OVERALL: Reminds me of an IPL. It’s an okay beer, but I like some of Goose Islands other beers better.

Tastes of bananas, rum, and malt. Rotten tasting as well. A disappointing beer, but not the worst thing ever.

Has a piney citrus smell. Definitely citrusy. Taste has a grapefruit bite at the end in the aftertaste. Color is amber with moderate head. For a beer made by Coors it's not bad. Pretty balanced flavors. I'd drink it again.

I really didn’t like this very much. Not much head or anything good. It was warm. Who makes warm beer? Goose island, that’s who. One time I was getting a bunch of golf balls out of a pond then realized I was laying in goose shit. Geese are jerks.

From the bottle, it pours a slightly darker amber with a modest head that slowly diminishes to a ring and islands. Some malt in the nose. Some malt in the mouth.
