Goose Island Honker's Ale

Today's offering is a Chicago interpretation of English bitter. I first came across this beer when I lived in Iowa and was presently surprised.

 

 

Appearance:

Mid cooper with  small off white lasting head

Aroma:

Lightly roasted malt, a touch of nuts and a slight amount of spicy hops

Taste:

The taste is rich malt with a citrus tartness and bitter hops. The finish is tangy citrus and bitter hops with a touch of nuttiness underpinned by lovely juicy malt.

Overall:

This is like a bitter but lighter but not in a bad way it idea for summer drinking if you drink bitter in the other seasons, draft sometime is over carbonated. But if you are in the windy city this is a beer you should try

8.0/10
