Bought in the 12 oz brown bottle, with the Goose on front.
The appearance is above average for a Blonde Ale nice golden colour very small head leaves a ring around the glass.
This beer has a strange aroma which though weird is enjoyable..i smell sweet malts and some honey..a little caramel too..very nice.Taste however is too sweet for my tastes..cant taste much malt or hops
Mouthfeel is pretty ordinary for a blonde..ok.
Its pretty drinkable but I wont go out of my way to buy again.
Maybe the sugary taste is because my bottle is past its "Best by date?

Enjoyed at the Clybourn location.
A: thin head on a cloudy blond body and nice lacing.
S: orange peel and sweet lemon custard with some pale malts and breads.
T: the flavor had mor of and orange peel and pineapple citrus flavor differing a little from the aroma. Breads and biscuit with a grainy base.
M: light body and moderate carbonation. Definitley drier than I like.
Overall: true to the style but I think this one would be more enjoyable if it wasnt as dry.
