Really nice amber looking beer with deap dedish hues. 1 Finger thick off white head with so so retention. Some lacing, but not alot. Seet, malty aroma. Little musky. Black cherries. Little bit of lemon. The taste is grainy maltiness, with a subtle hop backbone. Very bitter finish into a long bitter aftertaste. Bone Dry. Smooth medium mouthfeel. Drinks easy enough.

Bought a mix twelver of Goose Island at Specs Round Rock for about 13 bucks.

This is the first one I tried out of the bunch...

Poured a dark amber with a decent head...faded fairly quickly and did not leave much lace.

Getting some light nutty malt aroma and a bit dark fruit in the scent. Good, but a little pulled back.

Pretty tasty...a toasty malt flavor with a light caramel...finishes with a hint of fruity hop bitterness. Not bad for such a low abv beer. Fairly light bodied and super easy to drink

Very nice to find yet another good summer session brew for the dog days of a Texas summer. Affordable...and a unique style that I'll have to dive into a bit more it seems.
