Goose Island Honker’s Ale
Saturday, February 23rd, 2008
This beer fooled me. It poured a dark amber, almost a copper color. So, I didn’t imagine it was a pale ale, but that’s technically what it was. It had a floral aroma, indicative of a strong hop flavor. The mouthfeel was light, clean, and crisp. Although it was hoppy, it was smooth and pretty balanced. This is a fine example of an American Pale Ale - even though I’m hardly a fan of that style. If you like your beer hoppy, with a bitter finish, then this beer is for you.
