Goose Island Christmas Ale
Winter Ale - 7.3% ABV Pete This is a below average flavor winter beer, but it packs a little bit of a punch, so I'll give it a pass for that. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Goose Island Festivity Ale
Winter Ale - 7.7% ABV Pete This one is quite bad. It's too sweet maybe, too malty? I don't know, it's just bad. If I hadn't had a few before this one, I probably would have dumped it out, and I've done that to maybe 4 beers before in my life. Ratings: Pete - 2 Shyoh's |

Goose Island Gillian
Sour Saison - 9.5% ABV Pete This is an incredible beer. It has a perfect balance of fruit, sour, and spiciness. There isn't a specific flavor that stands out, but they work together so well. This is more sour than saison. Ratings: Pete - 6 Shyoh's |

Goose Island Honker's Ale
English Bitter - 4.3% ABV Pete There is nothing horribly wrong with this beer, but there isn't enough alcohol and/or flavor to justify spending more than I would on a Keystone Light. Ratings: Pete - 3 Shyoh's |
|
Goose Island India Pale Ale
IPA - 5.9% ABV Pete A pretty good, generic IPA. I would like a little more of the hop flavor/aroma. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |

Goose Island Lolita
Wild Ale - 8.7% ABV Pete Medium sourness, a little maltiness, and a touch of fruitiness. It's not really funky at all. Really good beer. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Goose Island Madame Rose
Sour - 7% ABV Pete This is a great sour. It is pretty fruity at first (raspberry or strawberry, maybe both, not sure), and finishes very sour. Ratings: Pete - 5 Shyoh's |

Goose Island Summertime
Kölsch - 5.1% ABV Pete This is terrible. I honestly thought that they gave me Bud Light instead of Goose IPA. Nope, just Goose summer, brutal. Paying craft beer prices for this is just absurd. Ratings: Pete - 1 Shyoh |

Goose Island Urban Wheat
Wheat - 4.2% ABV Pete This is a pretty good beer. It almost tastes like a Belgian Wit, but it is a bit more mellow. Ratings: Pete - 4 Shyoh's |
