Appearance: Basically looks like a hef or a dark wheat ale. Solid golden with good lacing.

Smell: Sweet apple and lemon. Extremely crisp and refreshing. Good balance too.

Taste/Mouthfeel: Tastes exactly how it smells. This is the closest to cider a beer can get in my opinion. A bit thicker than cider, which is nice.

Overall Drinkability: A great crossover beer.

On-tap @ Binny's South Loop for the Goose Takeover.

A - Pours a darker reddish/orange color, off-white head.

S - Fruit-forward, light spice, some burnt sugars in there too. The Blood Oranges come through almost like a Grand Marnier type taste.

T - Malty grains, blood orange notes, sweet Grand Marnier-esk notes, oak. Really tastes like some type of craft cocktail almost...but it's a beer. :D Very fruity. Finish is sweet fruits and toasted malts.

M - Medium body (a bit too much for 4.5%), good carbonation, slight sweet finish with some booze.

O - I finished my pour, but really didn't want anymore then that. It's an "okay" Fruit Beer, but I couldn't drink much at all. That day, there were too many other awesome Goose beers to enjoy.

Guest tap at the Hay Market. I could not refuse something with blood oranges and it served me right, making it juicy and oh so drinkable. An enjoyable sourness and acceptable earthyness. Appropriate carbonation and middling mouthfeel. A good experience. The Goose is still loose.
